Peter Drucker is widely regarded as the father of modern management, offering penetrating insights into business that still resonate today. But Drucker also offers deep wisdom on how to manage our personal lives and how to become more effective leaders. In these two classic articles from Harvard Business Review, Drucker reveals the keys to becoming your own chief executive officer as well as a better leader of others. “Managing Oneself” identifies the probing questions you need to ask to gain the insights essential for taking charge of your career, while “What Makes an Effective Executive” outlines the key behaviors you must adopt in order to lead. Together, they chart a powerful course to help you carve out your place in the world.

Quotes

  • Tatiana Danshynahas quoted6 years ago
    So what do effective leaders have in common? They get the right things done, in the right ways—by following eight simple rules:
    Ask what needs to be done.
    Ask what’s right for the enterprise.
    Develop action plans.
    Take responsibility for decisions.
    Take responsibility for communicating.
    Focus on opportunities, not problems.
    Run productive meetings.
    Think and say “We,” not “I.”
  • Tatiana Danshynahas quoted6 years ago
    Effective executives differ widely in their personalities, strengths, weaknesses, values, and beliefs. All they have in common is that they get the right things done. Some are born effective. But the demand is much too great to be satisfied by extraordinary talent. Effectiveness is a discipline. And, like every discipline, effectiveness can be learned and must be earned.
  • Tatiana Danshynahas quoted6 years ago
    Listen first, speak last.
