📚 Book Summary:

This week's book is "The Effective Executive" by Peter Drucker.

This is the book that gives knowledge workers the mindset and tools to become effective. The core message is simple: anyone can be an executive if they choose to act like one—and that starts with making better decisions, not just doing more.

One of my favorite takeaways from the book is this:

"There are always more productive tasks for tomorrow than there is time to do them and more opportunities than there are capable people to take care of them—not to mention the always abundant problems and crises. A decision therefore has to be made as to which tasks deserve priority and which are of less importance. The only question is which will make the decision—the executive or the pressure."

✅ Actionable advice:

It’s clear: when pressure sets the priorities, the tasks that matter most get missed. That’s why effective leaders detach. They step away from the grind to ask: Are my efforts aligned with my values and strategy? Do they move me closer to my goals and vision? So—what decision can you make right now that will cut through the noise, clarify direction, and drive the right progress?

Have a great week!
