The Effective Executive

Peter F. Drucker, The Effective Executive: The Definitive Guide to Getting the Right Things Done, HarperCollins Publishers, January 3, 2006.

齊若蘭譯,杜拉克談高效能的5個習慣,遠流,2009

The measure of the executive, Peter F. Drucker reminds us, is the ability to "get the right things done." This usually involves doing what other people have overlooked as well as avoiding what is unproductive. Intelligence, imagination, and knowledge may all be wasted in an executive job without the acquired habits of mind that mold them into results.

Drucker identifies five practices essential to business effectiveness that can, and must, be learned:

    1. Managing time
    2. Choosing what to contribute to the organization
    3. Knowing where and how to mobilize strength for best effect
    4. Setting the right priorities
    5. Knitting all of them together with effective decision-making

聯發科董事長蔡明介曾告訴《商周》,彼得.杜拉克(Peter Drucker)所寫的《有效的經營者》,是少見的經典。這本書,他讀了20年,仍一讀再讀。而其他企管書,與之相比,都只夠格當「註」,只是經典的補充資料。...
蔡明介曾說,看杜拉克的管理書不要照本宣科,而是看大師點出的原則,別把長期原則當成短期思維硬套。「知識要變成你個人特有的思維。」
舉例來說,杜拉克提到,許多企業的目標常放在解決過去的問題,或是調整現在的能力。但他認為,今天的資產、明天可能就成了負債,一般企業的做法等同設錯目標。企業該瞄準的是未來的機會,對於過去既有的能力,應該隨時做好拋棄的準備。這些與眾不同的觀點,在經過消化後,就成了找出自己方向的養分。
每當需要思考管理問題時,蔡明介都會拿出《有效的經營者》翻閱,20年來,歷久彌新。「每次看都會有不同的感覺,因為經典就會隨著時代,讓你每次看,想的東西都不一樣。」
