Drucker's basic model for an effective executive can be summarized as follows:
•one, executives must carefully choose how to spend, and not to spend, their time;
•two, executives must consciously choose what they want to contribute to the organization and ask their subordinates to make such a choice also;
•three, executives must choose people to perform tasks based on their individual strengths and the fit between strengths and tasks--people should not be chosen for whether or not they lack weaknesses;
•four, executives must deliberately choose long-term business priorities; and
•five, executives must choose from among all of the alternative opinions offered within their organization.

What has enabled some corporations to last so long, while other competitors in the same markets either struggle to get by, or fade away after a short period of time? This is the major question that Mr's Collins and Porras try to answer. They took a look at 18 well known, well established and healthy companies ('visionaries'), and compared them to a counterpart in their specific area of business. They analyzed all the information they could get their hands on, compiled it, and looked at it to try to find patterns both between the visionary companies and their counterparts, as well as among the visionary companies themselves.
The result of all of this is a set of guidelines and principles that all companies, large or growing, can use to keep themselves growing, strong, and ahead of the competition.
