Portuguese term (edited):
A Secret�ria Eficaz
The Effective Secretary
Há uma diferença, embora sutil, entre "eficaz" e "eficiente", tanto em inglês quanto em português, veja:
effective (e fektiv, i-; often e-, e-)
adj.
having an effect; producing a result
efficient (e fisent, i-; often, e-, e-)
adj.
producing a desired effect, product, etc. with a minimum of effort, expense, or waste; working well
A diferença está no RENDIMENTO (with a minimum of effort, expense, or waste). São palavras usadas, muitas vezes, indistintamente, quase sinônimas, mas pode-se ser eficaz sem ser muito eficiente (ter baixo rendimento, mas conseguir os resultados desejados)
eficaz
[Do lat. efficace.]
Adj. 2 g.
1. Que produz o efeito desejado; que dá bom resultado
