Introduction to High Output Management, Andy Grove, and the Basics of Production

Abi Tyas Tunggal

This is the first episode in my series on High Output Management by Andy Grove. It's widely considered to be the best book on management and by the end of this series, you'll understand why.

I think Tobi Lutke, the co-founder and CEO of Shopify, put it best in an interview with Tim Ferriss:

Andy’s book is unapologetically almost a how-to manual, that kind of deconstructs the world of business into first principles. It’s like, “Here’s what matters. Here’s how to think about it. No one needs a degree.”

In this episode, you'll learn about Andy Grove himself, the early history of Intel, and the three core concepts of High Output Management.

Then you'll learn about the basics of production, production operations, and how to deal with complications.

In future episodes, you'll learn about how to apply these production principles to management.
