I’ve been searching for a “magic book” for quite a long time. The book which would allow a beginner manager to get all the necessary knowledge at once. And it seems I’ve found it. “High Output Management” by Andrew S. Grove has been recognized unanimously as the main book on Quora portal. It has got exalted reviews from almost all the critics who write about it and is recommended as a holy word for each beginner manager. I’ve found it, read it and here’s what I think of it.

No employee feels himself a machine for completing tasks. Everyone is intelligent, thoughtful, creative and responsible person.
If it's not about your employees, it means you're doing something wrong. When the employee's abilities are respected, they give excellent results.
There is a method how to make employees feel winged and free to cope with each new challenge. We use it at work. Perhaps it is useful for you too.

There are two types of tasks - algorithmic and heuristic.
Algorithmic are solved using a well-defined sequence of actions that provide a predictable result. In the Western world a person has to perform less algorithmic problems because they automate their work or delegate such work to the third world countries.
Heuristic tasks do not have ready solutions. Solving them people experiment and invent something. Design, programming, analysis, customer service - all these spheres require creativity and skills. Western economy is increasingly dependent on the solution of such problems.

Ahh, discipline - a huge value of an employee, which gurus of management and business coaches are eager to achieve. Today discipline at work is the basis of order. But alas, it has its own downside.
On the one hand, we are committed to the concentration and efficiency, which is achieved only through discipline. On the other hand, this "noose" takes us farther and farther away from desires, risks, creativity to monotonous duties.
It’s difficult to discuss controversial issues, especially when it comes to the office work. It’s familiar to us on our own experience. The compromise in business matters can be reached only intelligently. As well as discipline: to learn discipline you need to understand what it is and what it is not.
