Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
The Effective Executive
Peter F. Drucker · 2017
🎙 Narrated by Timothy Andres Pabon, with an introduction read by Jim Collins (HarperAudio unabridged edition)
84/100
👍 Worth It
Drucker's five habits are still taught for a reason - this isn't fluffy productivity advice, it's a real discipline for getting the right things done, even if the examples feel like they're from another era. Strongly worth it if you manage people or your own time badly. The narration is a solid, professional read with a nice bonus intro from Jim Collins.
