Would recommend very highly:
(1) Andrew Grove's "High Output Management", it's easy to read: https://www.amazon.co.uk/High-Output-Management-Andrew-Grove/dp/0679762884 https://www.amazon.co.uk/High-Output-Management-Andrew-Grove...
(2) Manager Tools "Basics" podcasts, especially on 1x1s and feedback: https://www.manager-tools.com/manager-tools-basics https://www.manager-tools.com/manager-tools-basics
There's a hell of a lot to learn outside of these things, but I think they're a good start.

- tbrock 9y agoI was recommended "High output management" and found it pretty bad. Some of the insight at the end was ok, but most of it was very boring and obvious.
- howscrewedami 9y agoGot any books you'd recommend?

- gtf21 9y agoAs a very inexperienced manager (i.e. startup founder) I found some of the stuff quite helpful, which is doubtless obvious to the more experienced (although, in fairness, I also stopped reading about 3/4 of the way through, but my cofounder swears by it).
