The Effective Executive Defined

Peter Drucker, the greatest management thinker ever and author of thirty-nine books including the classic The Effective Executive. Drucker taught, “Effectiveness is getting the right things done.” He also taught that every knowledge worker in a modern organization is an “executive” if, by virtue of his or her position or knowledge, he or she is responsible for a contribution that materially affects the capacity of the organization to perform and obtain results (pp 5-9).

Explore Peter Drucker’s timeless principles from The Effective Executive in Action: A Journal for Getting the Right Things Done and implement the action steps found in the six chapters.

Managing Oneself

In the Harvard Business Review article, Managing Oneself (originally published in 1999), Peter Drucker said, “Success in the knowledge economy comes to those who know themselves—their strengths, their values, and how they best perform.”

The Effectiveness Coach® Approach

The Effectiveness Coach® approach includes a collection of assessments that measure what Drucker advised us to concentrate on. The core of that collection is called The Effective Executive Trifecta™ which can provide the following results with the three unique assessments:
