“Great intro to getting things done methodology from 50+ years ago. Recommend it as a compliment to Getting Things Done by David Allen”

“As an author and an intellectual, the late Peter F. Drucker was a true business sage. Recognized as the father of modern management, Drucker forecast numerous pivotal trends, including decentralization, privatization and the development of the information society. He introduced the concept of the “knowledge worker,” a term he employs widely in this fascinating book. His internal study of General Motors, Concept of the Corporation, greatly influenced how businesses conduct their affairs. Each Drucker book is a genuine business classic, including this one. getAbstract believes it will help you think productively about what you do. No one writes more intelligently or presciently on management and its functions than Drucker. All executives, even those who are already effective, will benefit from reading this informative, enlightening book. ”

“The effective executive talks about the decision-making abilities of a manager. Inspite of the book having about 150 pages, each of the page is loaded with so much of info that it takes quiet a while to assimilate what the author has to convey. All-in-all a very good read.”

“A Drucker classic. It's been updated, but this is still worth reading in the original.”
