In this episode, we discuss “The Effective Executive: The Definitive Guide to Getting the Right Things Done”. This book was written by Peter F. Drucker and initially published in 1967. We learn that effectiveness can and must be learned, and that it is separate from knowledge, intelligence, and hard work. We dive into the five practices essential to effectiveness, and discuss examples.
