FWIW, this is the new foreward from the second edition printing, which is being released next week (Nov 18th).

This has been on my reading list for a while, and never quite made it to the top. It's age plus a faint memory about Intel's notorious "late sheet" for tardy employees made me assume management advice from the era had lost relevance. But Ben's foreward has changed my mind. Pre-ordered!


We've added that info to the title. Thanks!


Good to know - I was about to order the existing copy on Amazon. I'll wait.


I bought a lightly used copy of this book at 'Community Thrift' in San Francisco. There was no electronic edition available at the time, but it seems a Kindle edition will be out next week: http://www.amazon.com/High-Output-Management-Andrew-Grove-eb...


I borrowed the book after hearing Ben mention it at a talk at Columbia, and I posted the 100 point worksheet here:

It might just be me, but I have trouble with the bright blue title text on the white parts of the background.

Having read the book a week ago, this post is an excellent primer on why you should read the book (which is excellent). That being said, it is not a very good foreward, because it provides nothing useful to the reader who has already picked the book up.


So glad this is finally coming out in an electronic format! I've read a PDF version and it's been excellent material for me in my transition to management.
