- datadawg 7y agoThanks, really enjoyed that foreword and it really pushed High Output Management up on my reading list. Plus as a bonus I finally learned the name of "The Peter Principle" (the idea that people in a hierarchy tend to rise to their level of incompetence).
- cheschire 7y agoThe peter principle and the dunning kruger effect define the majority of leadership I see these days.
- sixdimensional 7y agoThe Peter Principle book is awesome too, by the way. Highly recommended!
- icelancer 7y agoHigh Output Management is required reading at my startup. But so is Horowitz's book [0], which I think is actually better. [0]: https://smile.amazon.com/Hard-Thing-About-Things-Building/dp/0062273205?sa-no-redirect=1 https://smile.amazon.com/Hard-Thing-About-Things-Building/dp...
