High Output Management (Primary source)
Andy Grove’s High Output Management, published in 1983 at the zenith of America’s transition from industrial to information economy, stands as a seminal treatise on the art and science of organizational leadership. The work’s enduring contribution lies in its audacious central premise: that management itself constitutes a production process, measurable and optimizable like any manufacturing operation, where the manager’s output equals the output of his organization.
