Publisher's 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 start-up 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.

targeted to large beurocratic orgs

I own a small firm of about 17 people and have found this book to be more targeted towards large organizations. I found I was skipping through a lot of the material as it was seemingly unrelated to a small business entrepreneor. I had hopes that a lot of the principles could be applied and some ken but it's based on common sense alone. If you're a small business person I would skip this book.

Best all-round management book I read

It's fast paced and packed with insights that are still very relevant and actionable. There's no fluff, this book respects the reader and provides non-stop barrage of information. I'm excited to try the applicable advise from the end of the book.

As to the audio, the sound recording is good and the narrator has a pleasant voice that doesn't distract from the message.
