Introduction · · · · · ·
What are the similarities between managing a breakfast shop production line and managing a technology company? How does Intel, the world's largest computer chip supplier, deal with management challenges? Why is it that for most managers, the most important decision-making information comes from short and informal conversations? Everyone cannot avoid various meetings. How can middle-level managers make meetings more efficient?
In an organization, middle managers shoulder the key responsibility of connecting the upper and lower levels and are the backbone of the organization. However, compared with front-line employees or high-ranking leaders, managers often face overloaded work and are always busy. In addition, the role and influence of managers are easily overlooked. Because of these characteristics, managers must have the ability to handle several management activities at the same time. In addition, managers also need to focus on the activities that can best promote the output of the entire organization within a limited time.
In this book, Andy Grove shares his management experience of more than 20 years at Intel, a global computer chip supplier. For the first time, he introduced the concept of "output" in the manufacturing industry into the core of the work of corporate managers and creatively proposed a "high leverage" management method to help managers significantly improve management efficiency and obtain maximum management output.
Starting with the basic concepts of production and management, this book explains in an easy-to-understand manner all aspects of management issues, from meetings, decision-making, planning, organizational structure to employee recruitment, training, motivation, etc. It is highly instructive for middle-level managers of an organization.
