Everyone would benefit from seeing further into the future, whether buying stocks, crafting policy, launching a new product, or simply planning the week's meals. Unfortunately, people tend to be terrible forecasters. As Wharton professor Philip Tetlock showed in a landmark 2005 study, even experts' predictions are only slightly better than chance. However, an important and underreported conclusion of that study was that some experts do have real foresight.

Story
In The Outsiders, you'll learn the traits and methods striking for their consistency and relentless rationality that helped these unique leaders achieve such exceptional performance. Humble, unassuming, and often frugal, these "outsiders" shunned Wall Street and the press, and shied away from the hottest new management trends. Instead, they shared specific traits that put them and the companies they led on winning trajectories: a laser-sharp focus on per share value as opposed to earnings or sales growth; an exceptional talent for allocating capital and human resources; and the belief that cash flow, not reported earnings, determines a company's long-term value.

After a five-year research project, Jim Collins concludes that good to great can and does happen. In this audiobook, he uncovers the underlying variables that enable any type of organisation to make the leap from good to great while other organisations remain only good.

Story
When it comes to persuasion, success can begin before you say a word. In his global best seller Influence, Professor Robert Cialdini transformed the way we think about persuasion. Now he offers revelatory new insights into the art of winning people over: it isn’t just what we say or how we say it that counts but also what goes on in the moments before we speak. This is the world of ‘pre-suasion’, where subtle turns of phrase, seemingly insignificant visual cues and apparently unimportant details of location can prime people to say yes even before they are asked.

Summary
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....

Should have read the reviews before buying this.
Bought this thinking it was going to be an insightful summary of the important points and potential actions you could take from the book. It was actually just a very short collection of comments about some of the content and left me wondering why anyone would think this was a good idea. Then I checked the other reviews to see they were all negative - should've read those first.

Total crap
I’m quite sure Andy Grove would weep if he wasn’t spinning in his grave at what they’ve done to his book. The narration is painful and the key “takeaways”: the business world has changed. Measure KPIs. Middle managers have an important role. It’s a bit like a production line. That’s it. Just saved you a few quid and 30 mins of your life.

Superficial
What disappointed you about Summary of High Output Management by Andrew S. Grove | Includes Analysis?
It's a summary of the of content, not the substance behind the content. I realize it's an extremely unabridged version, but it was pretty much useless. Paraphrasing, "Andy uses charts and diagrams throughout the book to make his points."
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Summary of High Output Management by Andrew S. Grove | Includes Analysis?
Make it longer and add some meat.

Not a summary, but a collection of misunderstandings
This audio book was an irritating disappointment. The author grabs the subtitles of Andy Groove’s classic and interprets them using “contemporary examples”. A total misunderstanding of the work and an arrogant reinterpretation of fragments of it.
If you can’t make time to read the original, its better to not touch this audio book as it will dissuade you from picking up that classic text in the future.
