Output Thinking Book

The only book you need to build better systems for rapid business growth while working less.

  • Is there untapped potential in your company?
  • Do you wish your employees would think more like owners?
  • Does too much of the day to day work depend on you?

If you said yes, then Output Thinking is for you.

The biggest frustrations employers have is with employees and the biggest frustration employees have is with managers. These often stems from miscommunication about what is expected and that is the essence of what output thinking can solve.

Output Thinking brings the focus back to why you hire people in the first place: to produce some kind of outputs. By organizing around the outputs you can make them repeatable, scalable, and systemized. And you can tailor what people do to their individual mix of skills sets. The results are:

  • Increased Engagement
  • Better Productivity
  • Less Frustration (for you and your people)

Available in kindle or paperback.

John Seiffer Head Shot

I'm John Seiffer

This book contains lessons I've learned running my own companies for over 40 years and consulting with other business owners across the USA and Europe since 1994. It's not enough to change your thinking. You also have to apply that thinking to manage differently. That's why I include numerous exercises and practical tips to help you run your company better.

What's in the book?

  • You run a team of 5 - 150 people?
  • Do you want to grow your company faster?
  • Are you a searcher with a new acquisition?
  • Have you acquired a company and stepped into the operational command?
  • Would you like to relinquish command but don't have someone you can trust?
  • Do you wish there was more employee engagement?
  • Would you like to avoid the mistakes you see other business owners make?
  • Are you working too much in your business and not enough working on it? (I know it's a cliché.)
  • Do you need more time away from work, but feel like it would all fall apart if you took that time?

These are the kinds of problems I've solved for my own companies (like the one I ran from 1,500 miles away from where I lived) and those of my clients (like Rose a CPA who finally could step away from client work and scale her company). 

I've put these solutions into the Output Thinking book, along with exercises & practical tips.
