A commemorative edition of Peter F. Drucker's amazing classic focus on control and management, with a foreword by Jim Collins. What makes an efficient executive? For many years Peter F. Drucker was broadly regarded as "the dean of the country's business and management philosophers" (Wall membrane Street Journal). Within this concise and brilliant work, he appears to the most influential position in general management - the professional. The measure of the professional, Drucker reminds us, is the capability to "receive the right things done". This usually entails doing how many other people have forgotten as well as preventing what's unproductive. Intelligence, creativity, and knowledge may all be lost in an executive job minus the acquired behaviors of mind that mold them into results. Drucker identifies five practices essential to business performance that can - and must - be learned:
- Controlling time
- Choosing what to contribute to the organization
- Knowing where as well as how to mobilize power for best impact
- Placing the right priorities
- Knitting most of them together with effective decision making
