While executives are the focus of Drucker's text , anyone can follow his advice to become better at the office or school.
As Drucker has written, some of the best CEOs have varied backgrounds, personalities and would never be classified as stereotypical leaders.
According to Drucker, executive effectiveness is about organizing your life so that you accomplish "first things first" by setting priorities, as fellow guru Steven Covey writes in The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.
Setting priorities is the first practice of effective people.
Ask: "What do I need to do?"
Then, organize your life to do it and most importantly - do it correctly!
If you do not set goals, it is difficult to improve your circumstances.
