SIDELIGHTS: Joseph A. Maciariello has collaborated on several books with his friend and colleague Peter Drucker. Drucker is well known for his effective teaching on corporate leadership styles, as found in his book The Effective Executive. In The Effective Executive in Action: A Journal for Getting the Right Things Done, Drucker and Maciariello created a workbook companion for The Effective Executive. It provides the most pertinent points from the original text, along with material from Drucker's other works, suggestions for putting his precepts into action, and questions to prompt further reflection.

The Daily Drucker: 366 Days of Insight and Motivation for Getting the Right Things Done provides readers with a year's worth of concise tips from Drucker, along with comments and explanations to reinforce the daily message. Source material is thoroughly documented and indexed, and subjects within the book can be accessed by headings that group them into categories such as leadership, business ethics, and social responsibility. The Daily Drucker is a "powerful, inspirational learning tool," according to Susan C. Awe in Library Journal.
