The Effective Executive

from CFO Bookshelf · host Mark Gandy

One of the best management books ever written is The Effective Executive, by Peter Drucker, published in 1966. Managing For Results and The Practice of Management are other favorites of this show. Randy Wooton joins us to discuss the big ideas in The Effective Executive. He's a three-time CEO and has held senior positions at Microsoft and Salesforce. He is also the host of The SaaS Expert Voices Podcast and serves as Maxio's chief executive. In this conversation, we address why we study Drucker and his ideas on time management, effective decisions, knowledge workers, and setting priorities.

Too often they pivot from crisis to crisis, running on a tactical treadmill instead of proactively contributing strategic value to their nonprofits. Unfortunately, the full impact of their ministries suffer. It is time for this to change. Now.
