false 48019 1 <b><p>What makes an effective executive?</p></b><p> The measure of the executive, Peter F. Drucker reminds us, is the ability to "get the right things done." This usually involves doing what other people have overlooked as well as avoiding what is unproductive. Intelligence, imagination, and knowledge may all be wasted in an executive job without the acquired habits of mind that mold them into results. </p> Drucker identifies five practices essential to business effectiveness that can, and must, be learned: <ul> <li>Managing time </li> <li>Choosing what to contribute to the organization </li> <li>Knowing where and how to mobilize strength for best effect </li> <li>Setting the right priorities </li> <li>Knitting all of them together with effective decision-making </li> </ul> <p> Ranging widely through the annals of business and government, Peter F. Drucker demonstrates the distinctive skill of the executive and offers fresh insights into old and seemingly obvious business situations. </p> 46992 1 1 2006 The Effective Executive: The Definitive Guide to Getting the Right Things Done (Harperbusiness Essentials) total:164|5:66|4:60|3:30|2:7|1:1| 164 675 345 22 5 1 false false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2000 Thu Mar 06 20:20:49 -0800 2008 Sat Mar 08 10:34:10 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 1 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1990 Thu Jan 31 10:12:51 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 31 10:12:51 -0800 2008 has to be learned."
