This PDD theme is…
Managers are faced with one question: Are we doing things right?
Leaders are faced with one question: Are we dong the right things?
Accountability goes like this: “You are not evaluated by the obstacles you overcome but by the results you achieve.”
The book?
The Effective Executive in Action: A Journal for Getting the Right Things Done, by Peter Drucker
Here is what Publishers Weekly had to say:
The Effective Executive in Action is a journal based on Peter F. Drucker’s classic and preeminent work on management and effectiveness — The Effective Executive. Here Drucker provides you with a guide to effective action — the central theme of Drucker’s work. The format extracts bullet points from the original text, along with supplementary material from other Drucker writings, then adds reinforcing questions and suggested action items. Additional space is provided to write down reflections and results. “Decision making is the specific activity of the executive,” Drucker writes, but before you can learn how to make the right decisions, you need to manage your work time and concentrate your focus on the right tasks, then develop your strengths and the strengths of those around you. The Effective Executive in Action will teach you how to be a better leader and how to lead according to the five main pillars of Drucker’s leadership philosophy.
