    About this audiobook

    A How-To Guide for the Modern Leader

    Inspired by Peter Drucker's groundbreaking book The Effective Executive, Laura Stack details precisely how 21st-century leaders and managers can obtain profitable, productive results by managing the intersection of two critical values: effectiveness and efficiency.

    Effectiveness, Stack says, is identifying and achieving the best objectives for your organization—doing the right things. Efficiency is accomplishing them with the least amount of time, effort, and cost—doing things right. If you're not clear on both, you're wasting your time. As Drucker put it, “There is nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which should not be done at all.” Stack's 3T Leadership offers twelve practices that will enable executives to be effective and efficient, grouped into three areas where leaders spend their time: Strategic Thinking, Teamwork, and Tactics. With her expert advice, you'll get scores of new ideas on how you, your team, and your organization can boost productivity.

      It’s hard to take advise when there are phrases such as “all” or “every” . Critical thinking activated too often listening to the book. Had to stop at chapter 6.

      The book lacks depth. Though the book claims to be inspired by Peter Drucker (Effective Executive), it is a far cry from Drucker"s Book. Just a Ok read. Not much to write home about. It fell short of my expectations, as it claimed to be inspired by the Effective Executive. It would have been better if the author would not have referred to Peter Drucker. When we read a book with Management Guru (Drucker) in the back of our mind our mind and expectations takes a quantum leap.
