Book Review
The greatest management book ever written.
The Greatest Management Book Ever Written.
Drucker delivers here the most powerful and simple insight every manager must know - one's time is one's scarcest resource. This is a slim volume, and the best value on the list. You may quibble with Drucker's insights on meetings, but it doesn't matter - just the first 50 pages are worth 5 years of management development training.
Read this book once a year.
Wear this one out
Nothing more to say. If your copy is not falling apart, you need to get on it.
Your First Management Book
Of all of the management books you will read, this is the one that teaches you how to work as a professional. Combine the knowledge in here with professional dress, a basic understanding of politics & power, and an knowledge of how to persuade and influence others through relationship building - and you will become the rising star you always hoped you would be.
The Effective Executive - Peter Drucker
After reading the book recommendation on this site, I got a copy through paperbackswap.com. Simply, this is an excellent book, and while written back in the 1950's, the insights, advice, and recommendations are as valuable as ever. I have also purchased the workbook that goes along with the text.
Effective Executive
Just picked this up. Looking forward to reading it.
Does it matter which version
Does it matter which version you get. Amazon in the UK seems to have several versions?
Great book
I just re-read it on the plane last week... This is a truly great book. If you manage people, or work with ideas, or have to make decisions, then you must read this book.
