High Output Management by Andy Grove

A manager's output is the team's output; raise your leverage and pair your indicators.

Three takeaways for AI PMs

• Score yourself on the team's output: Write down what your team shipped and learned this quarter, then what you did yourself.
• Spend hours where leverage is highest
• Match supervision to task-relevant maturity

Do this Monday

• Before your next one-to-one, ask the report to send the agenda, and keep your own item for the last five minutes: Kim Scott told Lenny that Grove closed his with "There's one more thing", Intel code for the most important thing.
• In your next metrics review, add a paired counter-metric beside every headline AI metric and leave both on the dashboard.
• This week, block two hours to write the one document (context, rubric, decision log) your team and its AI tools will reuse, and cancel one recurring meeting to pay for it.
