• Review:

  "Peter Drucker begins this book by pointing out that there is no science of how to improve executive effectiveness, nor any naturally-occurring effective executives. The redeeming point of this problem is that he argues that executive effectiveness can be learned...Perhaps the best section in the book has to do with executive decision-making, when to make a decision, about what, and what principles to apply.

  If you only read this section, you would be well rewarded for studying this fine book...Although this book was written some time ago, it retains the strength of its insight today. Truly , this is a timeless way to achieve greater effectiveness..."
