Dov Frohman, founder of Intel Israel (8,000 employees) and inventor of the flash memory states in his book, "Leadership the Hard Way" the following story about a five-page proposal sent to Andy Grove: Quote: 'Something about the very distance in my relationship with Andy seemed to invest small things with large significance. For example, when I was a young manger at Intel Israel, I sent Andy a five-page proposal for shifting the Jerusalem fab production line from memories to microprocessors. He returned it, unread, with a stamp reading “Please respect my time.” His message: the proposal was way too long. He wanted one page, not five. Grove’s request – “Please respect my time” – had an enormous impact on me.'
