The Effective Executive: The Definitive Guide to Getting the Right Things Done by Peter F. Drucker

2.0

Not my favorite business/productivity book. I didn't get much as I would have liked from it.

In order for one to manage his time he must first know where it goes.

The author is against delegation because the executive should do the important things himself.

Whoever tries to place a man to staff an organization in order to avoid weakness will at best get mediocrity. Reminds me when my brother hired an RLS for his company and assumed he'd be good because he was an RLS.

The United States and Canada are the only countries that don't have the telephone service owned by the government because they're privately owned. I wish we had other entities that were privately owned and not government-owned. I hate government owned crap.

He says effectiveness can be learned but not taught. Hmmm.

Well I tried. No one can say I didn't try.
