This is a classic must-read.
I have handed this out to many first-time manager reports because it is practical without being fluffy. Grove writes clearly and to the point, and the book respects the reader’s time.
Its strength is that it treats management as work that can be reasoned about: meetings, leverage, output, process, feedback, and the operating rhythm of a team.
There are many newer management books with more contemporary language. Few are this direct.
