Effectiveness measures whether or not something gets done, Efficiency measures how well it got done. Climbing into my car through the window is an effective way to get in the car, but it's not very efficient.

Efficiency is something you can measure. Like how many error free lines of code can you write per day.
Effectiveness is much more subjective because it's a qualitative measure. I.e. almost noone would judge a leader by his efficiency because that's not relavent, but his effectiveness is. You can be effective while not being efficient at a measurable parameter.

Effectiveness means getting a job done. Efficiency means getting it done faster or with less effort.
You can be effective without being efficient.
