Solid ideas and a few good insights, particularly Drucker’s definition of what an executive even is (a person that must independently make decisions and take responsibility for those decisions), as well as the idea that with any good decision there will be disagreement. However, I found some anecdotes to be difficult to relate back to the point being made. Many of the topics also seem to be common sense, though perhaps this is a testament to the success of the book and the permeation of its ideas today.
