Review: ‘The Effective Executive’

The Effective Executive: The Definitive Guide to Getting the Right Things Done by Peter F. Drucker

Peter Drucker is often hailed as a great business and management philosopher, and this book, in short, proves why. First, this is not just about Executives; this is a book for any knowledge worker who wants to improve their game. The principles included in this book will help anyone trying to prioritize their work, take a long, hard look at the right work, and execute work that benefits themselves and the company.

In the 50th anniversary edition of this book, initially published in 1967, the book starts with Jim Collins sharing the ten principles he took from his relationship with Peter Drucker. It’s powerful and straightforward to follow. In our opinion, if you focus on any one of these principles today, you’ll have a better tomorrow. Then Peter Drucker jumps into what makes a great Executive. HINT: It’s not brilliance that can only be traced to the womb – it’s learned. And it’s learned through a series of disciplines that allow the Executive to lean on their strengths and do the right work.
