Andy S. Grove’s formula of managers’ output:

Where

  • : Leverage 1
  • : Activity 1

Based on the formula, to increase the output of managers, we could:

  • increase the speed, more activities per unit of time worked
  • increase the leverage associated with each activity
  • shift from low-leverage activities to high-leverage activities
