Summary
The essential skill of creating and maintaining new businesses—the art of the entrepreneur—can be summed up in a single word: managing。 In High Output Management， Andrew S。 Grove， former chairman and CEO （and employee number three） of Intel， shares his perspective on how to build and run a company。 Born of Grove’s experiences at one of America’s leading technology companies， this legendary management book is a Silicon Valley staple， equally appropriate for sales managers， accountants， consultants， and teachers， as well as CEOs and startup founders。 Grove covers techniques for creating highly productive teams， demonstrating methods of motivation that lead to peak performance—throughout， High Output Management is a practical handbook for navigating real-life business scenarios and a powerful management manifesto with the ability to revolutionize the way we work。

4。5/5 -- Really well-written。 Not a book I would read purely for fun， but there were lots of lessons that I found were relatable to my operations work and I highlighted throughout the book。

This is not a book; it is more of a textbook。 It is a glorious textbook。 You can learn so so much from it。 I did a mini-summary for the book （in case you're interested）。https://binatisheth。com/blog/why-you-。。。 This is not a book; it is more of a textbook。 It is a glorious textbook。 You can learn so so much from it。 I did a mini-summary for the book （in case you're interested）。https://binatisheth。com/blog/why-you-。。。 。。。more

#1 book on management。

One of the better books written so far about management。 I picked up this book after reading The hard thing about hard things and I can see why it is so highly praised。Full of actionable advice I think this is a book every manager should read。 It will prime you to develop the skills needed to be effective in a managerial role as well as teach you specific processes to perform your managerial tasks with the highest possible efficiency。Read it。

Great book。 Provides numerous mental models for how to understand and do management。 He also shares specific guides and actions for common management processes e。g。 improving process efficiency， 1-1s， planning， and organizational structure。 Very well written with engaging examples and anecdotes whilst highlighting the core principles。 Worth noting that some sections are more relevant for middle managers at larger companies than early stage startups。Also more relevant for the 1-n stage of startup Great book。 Provides numerous mental models for how to understand and do management。 He also shares specific guides and actions for common management processes e。g。 improving process efficiency， 1-1s， planning， and organizational structure。 Very well written with engaging examples and anecdotes whilst highlighting the core principles。 Worth noting that some sections are more relevant for middle managers at larger companies than early stage startups。Also more relevant for the 1-n stage of startups than 0-1 but important to read before scaling up。 。。。more

Must read for every leader， regardless of the industry or the environment。 My biggest fear， for reading this book， was whether the content would be relevant in the "new paradigm" of work made up of knowledge workers。 The concepts in this book are very foundational， and the responsibilities of a leader are very consistent throughout time。 Andy， very succinctly， communicates the importance and expectations people will have from their leaders， and gives an implementable template as a guideline。The Must read for every leader， regardless of the industry or the environment。 My biggest fear， for reading this book， was whether the content would be relevant in the "new paradigm" of work made up of knowledge workers。 The concepts in this book are very foundational， and the responsibilities of a leader are very consistent throughout time。 Andy， very succinctly， communicates the importance and expectations people will have from their leaders， and gives an implementable template as a guideline。The environments of the workplace will constantly change， along with what motivates and drives people。 This book understands that， but focuses more on the importance of the operation and how to manage towards that while keeping the prior in mind。 。。。more

Higher Output management was a treat to read。 After forgetting most of my college education on operations management， the first parts were a good review onto the process， but it does it so well and in a very digestable way。 But it does more than that Part two and three expands upon simply managing processes to managing teams， decision making processes， and many more usable and practical concepts for the workplace。 Given my personal transition to more management focused job， this book definitely Higher Output management was a treat to read。 After forgetting most of my college education on operations management， the first parts were a good review onto the process， but it does it so well and in a very digestable way。 But it does more than that Part two and three expands upon simply managing processes to managing teams， decision making processes， and many more usable and practical concepts for the workplace。 Given my personal transition to more management focused job， this book definitely serves as a great guidance。Really glad this was recommended to me。 。。。more

Indispensable basics around management Directly relevant and extremely useful frameworks for thinking about management。 Some of the content is less relevant for people management within software， however。

A very good playbook for middle manager。 It talks about process， people， and organisation。 The book has good useable tactics and mental models for corporate America。

Oh my God， how come I didn’t read this book earlier in my career？！Almost everything I’ve learned about management within the tech industry can be traced back to this book， this is the source of so much knowledge。 It’s a classic。The book is also very written in a very simple yet powerful way with relevant examples and clearly defined conclusions for each point。The first part reminds me of the Theory of Constraints and clarifies how we engineers see everything as a process or a system。Next Groves Oh my God， how come I didn’t read this book earlier in my career？！Almost everything I’ve learned about management within the tech industry can be traced back to this book， this is the source of so much knowledge。 It’s a classic。The book is also very written in a very simple yet powerful way with relevant examples and clearly defined conclusions for each point。The first part reminds me of the Theory of Constraints and clarifies how we engineers see everything as a process or a system。Next Groves goes deep on the importance of middle managers and the managers most important tasks。Then even deeper in why performance reviews， feedback and training are key to the overall performance of the company。Granted， he talks about Intel in the 80s but 99% of this book is still relevant in the major tech companies today on a daily basis。If you are a manager or pretend to be one you need to read this book。 。。。more

It’s definetely well written managers almanach。 I did not found anything eyes openong here， but just because of my experience which gave me chances to think or/and work on things mentioned in the book。 But the content in it is realy valuable and a must to familiarize for each manager。 This book simply puts everything into a boxes and structurises all the material really well。 I am surprised only on one aspect- how insightfull it was from the time perspective it was written。

Decent book - had to push through some of the chapters but overall， it was good。 I like Andy’s communicational style and how he envisions leadership and I recognise myself in several of his theories and practices。

This book was recommended by a good friend of mine a long time ago but I ignored it for a while。 It turned out that it was a good decision because back then I would not have been ready for it。 Now that my career evolved and I gained experience in management， I could really appreciate the book: despite it was originally pusblished in the 80s， its lessons are still relevant and valid in the 2020s。

That was an interesting experience :） First of all， I DO NOT RECOMMEND reading this book without prior experience with hands-on management， or at least a couple of other modern lectures on the topic。 This book was most probably brilliant in the early 80s。 Still reading through the content， I could literally feel some almost revolutionary ideas， concepts and concrete exercises that one might do as a manager。 Unfortunately， the modern times and modern science related to psychology， management， dec That was an interesting experience :） First of all， I DO NOT RECOMMEND reading this book without prior experience with hands-on management， or at least a couple of other modern lectures on the topic。 This book was most probably brilliant in the early 80s。 Still reading through the content， I could literally feel some almost revolutionary ideas， concepts and concrete exercises that one might do as a manager。 Unfortunately， the modern times and modern science related to psychology， management， decision-making， motivation and so on， often contradicts at least some of the concepts presented in the book， and some some other are rendered obsolete。 Truth be told， often the same line of though that sprung from the ideas seeded by Andy Groove in the '80s in this lecture is the one that now， almost 40 years ago contradicts the author。 When I read the book I had those aforementioned feelings of some sentences being simply brilliant， just to encountered a feeling awkwardness literally one paragraph ahead。 This is why， I do not recommend reading this book as an entry point to management anymore。 In those 40 years a lot have changed， including the average mental maturity of a person in corporate america。For mature reader， having some experience on the topic， it's a very good lecture， showing some roots of modern approach to management。 。。。more

The first sections focused more on the theory of management， specifically as it relates to large corporations such as Intel。 I found it very interesting， although not altogether relevant to my small company—four stars on those sections。 The last quarter or so of the book focuses on practical ideas that are broadly applicable， no matter how large or small your company is。 These chapters easily bumped this up to a five-star read for me。

A lot of how we today work in the company I’m at stems from the ideas provided by Andy grove。 One on one and how to work with okr。 A lot of it is relevant in the present digital world however parts of the book is more focused on traditional business。 But all in all a great read。

Although not absolutely new it contains timeless truths about "management"。One of few books that contains something truly useful on recruiting， also for 25y of experience from recruiting on and off。 Although not absolutely new it contains timeless truths about "management"。One of few books that contains something truly useful on recruiting， also for 25y of experience from recruiting on and off。 。。。more
