We’re more “entrepreneurs” than we are “managers” and we don’t much care for Inc magazine’s contributor network (much as we love its staff writers), but “The 50-Year-Old Business Book You Need to Read (or Reread) Right Now” has us wondering whether it’s not time to acquire a copy of Peter Drucker’s The Effective Executive. The 50-year anniversary edition of the book is out now on Amazon and (hopefully) coming soon to a Diwan branch near you.

Management wisdom from the era of typewriters and Mad Men. What could be better? Drucker’s five core principles:

  • Managing time
  • Choosing what to contribute to the organization
  • Knowing where and how to mobilize strength for best effect
  • Setting the right priorities
  • Knitting all of them together with effective decision-making
