Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The very practical need of our times is more executive ability. In proportion to the demand for it, such ability has always been scarce, and will steadily become more so under the rapid growth of organized enterprise of every sort. Happily, all of us seek power, be the direction what it may; we are builded for upward striving. Since it is only partially true that leaders are born, not made, this power-seeking tendency in our nature if cultivated may be turned into executive capacity. Such result is the chief purpose of this book. One must always follow, even while leading; we are never wholly initiators. Whom shall we follow? Insincerity, shiftiness, and bluster have too often won the ear of the foolish and clouded the discerning eye; but hurling these epithets indiscriminately at every fresh seeker of power just as truly wounds the man of vision and exalts the thick-skinned mercenary. Since this study lays bare the means by which men control others, one is enabled more surely to realize its second aim, the wise selection of leaders and rational submission to their guidance. The perpetuity of organized life depends upon the rise of superior men into positions of authority, even though it mean oneself, the half-god, must withdraw then the god appears. The methods described are those which executives use, and they use them to get results. Whether the results are desirable in the case of any particular executive, the reader will decide for himself in view of the principles presented in Part III. If these methods employed to control men at times seem crude and harsh, we must remember they were once more crude and more harsh. It is too often that, intent on the ideal, we overlook the very real progress already made, usually a case of overimpatience delaying its own aim. So in judging our leaders and their methods we should adopt the relative viewpoint, exacting of them no absolute standards, but content in view of all the attendant circumstances they measure up as men. Around few questions have more controversy and speculation been aroused than the one here treated. It is for this reason that in the following pages much concrete material is being presented, since, in charting an intricate field such as individual ascendancy, a book of deductions is to be feared. As for the product in toto I venture to hope that through its influence not a few people will work together with increased efficiency"--Preface.

Download or read book The Effective Executive written by Peter Drucker and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-03-09 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The measure of the executive, Peter Drucker reminds us, is the ability to 'get the right things done'. Usually this involves doing what other people have overlooked, as well as avoiding what is unproductive. He identifies five talents as essential to effectiveness, and these can be learned; in fact, they must be learned just as scales must be mastered by every piano student regardless of his natural gifts. Intelligence, imagination and knowledge may all be wasted in an executive job without the acquired habits of mind that convert these into results. One of the talents is the management of time. Another is choosing what to contribute to the particular organization. A third is knowing where and how to apply your strength to best effect. Fourth is setting up the right priorities. And all of them must be knitted together by effective decision-making. How these can be developed forms the main body of the book. The author ranges widely through the annals of business and government to demonstrate the distinctive skill of the executive. He turns familiar experience upside down to see it in new perspective. The book is full of surprises, with its fresh insights into old and seemingly trite situations.
