Create an action plan to execute effectively
from The Effective Executive: The Definitive Guide to Getting the Right Things Done by Peter F. Drucker
How to Apply This
-
Define your desired results.
Determine the contributions the enterprise expects from you within a required time, your deadlines, the results you will commit to, the restraints or actions and if your actions are applicable within the organization. -
Revise the action plan periodically.
For example, you could decide to revise your action plan every six months because every success creates new opportunities, just like every failure. -
Create a system for checking the results against expectations.
For example, you could do the first check halfway through the plan’s period and the second in the end, before the next action plan is drawn. -
Manage time effectively.
Time is an executive’s scarcest and most precious resource. Your action plan should determine how you spend your time.
