Summary of High Output Management by Andrew S. Grove| Includes Analysis

Preview:

First published in 1983, High Output Management by Andrew Grove is a management guide based on Grove's 15 years of managerial experience and knowledge as a cofounder, president, and chief executive of Intel. As Grove emphasizes in a new introduction to the book, globalization and the information revolution have dramatically changed the workforce, making people ever more replaceable and the market ever more competitive. Companies must adapt to these changes or face their own irrelevance and extinction. The same holds true for workers and managers. Managers, especially middle managers, are often overlooked in business books and forgotten in organizations, yet they are immensely important not only to businesses but to society more broadly. In order to survive and to thrive in their careers, managers must constantly enhance their value by learning and adapting to a changing, often unpredictable business environment....

Please note: This is key takeaways and analysis of the book, and not the original book.

Far too high level to be useful to me

This is my first instaread book but this felt more useful for high school quiz prep than for business learning/application (the real book isn't on audible). I probably won't buy another...

surprisingly repetitive for something so short.

dont think its worth even the $3 I paid for it. hopefully audible will have the full book soon.

Top level summary with few takeaways

This review gives a top-level summary of the book, but few actionable takeaways that someone can implement after hearing this summary. This did not serve the purpose of allowing me to learn the key lessons of the book without the full text version.

Did not summarize book

Sounded more like a summary of the table of contents more than the actual book.

Buy the book instead

High Output Management covers a lot, and it has a lot of concrete advice and methods of working that is just not covered in this summary. I would highly recommend buying the actual book which offers a tremendous amount of hands-on, actionable advice.

Nothing but cliches

You'd think that a 20 min summary of a book wouldn't repeat itself, but then you'd be wrong. Did you know that managers should have goals? Did you also know they need to adapt to changing circumstances? Then you don't need to listen to this summary.

The actual book might have value...

Not the real book. 30 minutes long. Not worth it.

I know I should have read the description more carefully, but the"unabridged" tag is misleading. It is an "unabridged" reading of a 30 min summary of the book, so the book in question is abridged. Wish I had my credit back.

total waste of time.

Much promotions no substance or information total waste of time. It talks about the book and author no points on management or anything like that. not worth it

Useless

Don’t buy. I got nothing from this. It is super short. Just read a chapter of the book instead you will probably get more from that.

Didn't know the audio book was about 5 min long

What's there to say other than don't waste your money or a credit. Cannot say waste your time since it's so darn short.
