Summary: Old School? New School? A classic!
Review: What is being an executive about? Getting results.

Drucker spells this out in clear language, and basis his advice for executives on getting results. In a world where people mistake passion, energy, enthusiasm or relationship building for results, this is vital. There are many tools an executive can use to achieve results, but in the end, the results are what he (or she) is judged by.

The book works through tactical advice on how to increase ones ability to make results. This includes advice on meeting management ("one can work or meet, but not both"), time management (focusing on the important tasks over crisis) and innovating by staying close to one's customers.

Get this book to help you separate fad from fantasy from fact. It will improve your management and leadership effectiveness.
