Features: Can a group of ordinary people achieve extraordinary things? The Effective Executive tells us that it is entirely possible, as long as everyone in our organization can be effective. Can effectiveness be learned? The answer is affirmative—effectiveness can be learned. Does everyone have to be effective? Effectiveness is something managers must achieve, but in all knowledge organizations, every knowledge worker is actually a manager—even if they don’t have formal authority, as long as they can make outstanding contributions to the organization. In The Effective Executive, Drucker tells us: The effectiveness of managers is often the key factor in determining the effectiveness of organizational work; it’s not just senior executives who are managers, but anyone responsible for action and decision-making who helps improve the efficiency of the organization should work and think like a manager. The author analyzes the changes in organizations and their management from the perspectives of society and history. The book is divided into seven chapters, with the first five focusing on how managers can manage themselves, and the last two on how managers can make decisions.
