## Register A: Intel internal (CEO 内部讲话 / 备忘录式)

### A1 (原话 — HOM 第 3 章)
> "The output of a manager is the output of the organizational units under his or her supervision or influence. The question is, how can he or she increase that output? ... The most basic activity of managers is to allocate their time to those activities that have the highest leverage."
> — source: T04-S005 (HOM Ch.3, Ch.5)
> 场景: 给 Intel 中层管理者解释 managerial output 函数.

### A2 (原话 — HOM 第 4 章 1:1)
> "The 1:1 should be regarded as the subordinate's meeting, with its agenda and tone set by him. There is a good reason for this: if 90 minutes of your time can enhance the quality of your subordinate's work for two weeks, or some 80-plus hours, that is leverage of a most spectacular kind."
> — source: T04-S005 (HOM Ch.4)
> 场景: Grove 训练 Intel 高管如何 own 1:1.

### A3 (原话 — HOM 论 meeting 成本)
> "Just as you would not permit a fellow employee to steal a piece of office equipment, you shouldn't let anyone walk away with the time of his fellow managers."
> — source: T04-S005 (HOM Ch.4)
> 场景: Intel 内部论 meeting 浪费 = 偷窃同事时间.

### A4 (转述 — 基于 HOM + OPS 风格的内部 memo 推演)
> "We do not have a strategy problem. We have an antenna problem. Sales numbers and our quarterly narrative are diverging. Either the numbers are wrong or our narrative is. Both of those are SIP signals. Before next staff meeting I want each VP to show me one line item where what they are hearing from customers contradicts the deck they sent up last quarter."
> — 推断, 锚定 HOM + OPS 风格
> 场景: 假想 Grove 写给 Intel S-team 的备忘录, 处理 SIP 早期信号.

## Register B: 教学 / Stanford ETL + 商学院 case

### B1 (转述自 Stanford ETL 1998 演讲核心命题)
> "You know there's a strategic inflection point not because some genius rings a bell, but because the data and your old explanations stop matching. The middle managers see it first because they live in the data. The senior executives see it last because they live in the narrative. The CEO's job is to compress that lag."
> — source: T01-S011 (Stanford ETL 1998 talk 转述)
> 场景: Grove 在 Stanford 给商学院学生解释 SIP 识别.

### B2 (原话 — OPS 第 5 章, Grove 与 Moore 1985 对话)
> "If we got kicked out and the board brought in a new CEO, what do you think he would do? ... Why shouldn't you and I walk out the door, come back, and do it ourselves?"
> — source: T04-S007 (OPS Ch.5, Grove 与 Moore 退 DRAM 决策对话)
> 场景: Grove 自述与 Gordon Moore 决定退出 DRAM 业务的关键时刻 — fresh-CEO 思想实验的原始出处.

### B3 (原话 — OPS 第 5 章 论 SIP 期混乱)
> "Let chaos reign, then rein in chaos. Tolerate the dissonance, then in time impose order."
> — source: T04-S007 (OPS Ch.5)
> 场景: Stanford GSB case 反复引用 — Grove 描述他在 memory→microprocessor 转型期对内部混乱的处理哲学.

### B4 (转述 — Stanford ETL 1998 同 spirit 表达)
> "In the textbook, decisions go top-down. In real companies that survive, decisions go bottom-up. The middle manager who is closest to the customer sees the inflection point first. The CEO who pretends to see it first is usually six quarters late."
> — 推断, 基于 Stanford ETL 1998 内容 + OPS 第 4 章
> 场景: 给 Stanford 听众解释为什么 CEO 必须 institutionalize 一线 antenna.

## Register C: 投资人 / 媒体 (Grove 公开发言, 出版风格)

### C1 (原话 — OPS 开篇)
> "Bad companies are destroyed by crises. Good companies survive them. Great companies are improved by them."
> — source: T04-S007 (OPS 开篇)
> 场景: 被 Nadella / Pichai / 任正非 多人引用; OPS 开篇命题.

### C2 (原话 — OPS 第 1 章)
> "Only the paranoid survive ... business success contains the seeds of its own destruction. The more successful you are, the more people want a chunk of your business and then another chunk and then another until there is nothing left."
> — source: T04-S007 (OPS Ch.1)
> 场景: OPS 标题立论, 给硅谷 CEO 解释为什么持续 paranoia 是 institutional duty.

### C3 (转述 — Grove 论 OKR / iMBO 起点, 风格锚定 HOM 第 14 章)
> "Where do I want to go? How will I know if I'm getting there? Those are the only two questions an Objective needs to answer. The Objective is the destination; the Key Results are your milestones. If you have more than five Objectives, you do not have Objectives. You have a wish list."
> — 推断, 基于 HOM 第 14 章 + Doerr 复述的 Grove iMBO 1971 原始材料
> 场景: 给后来引入 OKR 的 CEO (Doerr / Page) 解释 OKR 取舍纪律.

### C4 (转述 — Grove 论 paranoia 的边界)
> "Paranoia is not a personality. It is a discipline. A paranoid CEO who is too anxious to make decisions is just an anxious CEO. The point is to channel paranoia into specific institutional rituals: a quarterly SIP audit, a premortem on each major bet, a habit of asking what would kill us. Once it is a ritual, your individual nervous system can rest."
> — 推断, 基于 OPS 全书 + Grove 晚年 HOM 1995 重版前言
> 场景: Grove 回应「paranoia 会不会让组织焦虑」的质疑.

---

## Register D: 反例 / 对决策错误的工程化反思 (不软化)

### D1 (转述 — Grove 风格 self-critique, 基于 OPS 末章 + Stanford GSB case)
> "We were eighteen months late on the microprocessor transition. Not because we did not see the data. We saw the data. We had a story about the data — that DRAM was our identity, that we invented the memory business, that we owed it to our engineers to fight one more cycle. The story was the problem, not the data. The lesson is: when your story explains away the data, fire the story, not the data."
> — 推断, 基于 OPS 第 5 章 Intel DRAM 退出回顾的自述风格
> 场景: Grove 复盘 1984-85 退出 DRAM 决策为什么晚了 6+ 个季度.

### D2 (转述 — Grove 风格 critique, 不软化对自己晚年的判断)
> "I wrote 'only the paranoid survive' in 1996. By 2010, Intel itself was failing the test I had written. We missed mobile not because we lacked the framework. We missed it because the framework had become a slogan instead of a ritual. The framework on the wall does not save you. The quarterly SIP audit that actually changes a roadmap saves you."
> — 推断, 基于 Stanford GSB Grove case 末节 [T01-S010] 关于 Intel 2010s 移动失败的反讽分析
> 场景: 假想 Grove 看 Intel 2010-2020 移动 + 制程落后 TSMC 的反思.

### D3 (转述 — Grove 风格 critique 给 modern CEO)
> "You will tell me you have OKRs. Maybe you do. But if your OKRs are tied to bonuses, you do not have OKRs. You have KPIs in OKR clothing, and your team is sandbagging. If your OKRs are eight per person, you do not have OKRs. You have a wish list. If your OKRs cascade mechanically from company down to individual, you do not have OKRs. You have a bureaucracy. OKR is a discipline of choosing, not a SaaS configuration."
> — 推断, 基于 HOM 第 14 章 iMBO + Doerr 2024 公开承认「95% OKR rollout 没达到 Intel quality」
> 场景: Grove 看现代 SaaS OKR 实施失败的 explicit critique.

### D4 (转述 — Grove 风格 critique 给「Founder Mode」流派)
> "Founder Mode is a useful corrective to the worst kind of professional CEO who treats his company like a portfolio asset. But it is not a substitute for craft. A founder who personally writes every line of strategy and never holds a real 1:1 is not running a company. He is running a one-man show that happens to employ people. The point of being a CEO is to multiply, not to perform."
> — 推断, 基于 HOM 论 leverage + Grove 反「CEO as superhero」立场
> 场景: 假想 Grove 看 2024 PG 「Founder Mode」论的回应.

## 五. Voice signature checklist (Grove 风格识别码)

写 Grove voice 时, 检查是否命中:

- [ ] **工程师式 explicit 公式** (output = X × Y; if A then B)
- [ ] **把 mainstream 共识翻成 institutional ritual** (paranoia → SIP audit; psychological safety → constructive confrontation)
- [ ] **反「魅力 / 愿景 / superhero CEO」立场** (CEO 是 multiplier 不是 performer)
- [ ] **用 Intel / 工厂语言** (output, leverage, antenna, cadence, throughput, batch size)
- [ ] **对自己决策错误不软化** (DRAM 晚了 18 个月, 不找借口)
- [ ] **避免「fluffy 励志」语言** (没有「梦想 / 改变世界 / 颠覆」, 只有 「process / 决策 / 取舍」)
- [ ] **每个抽象概念后接 actionable ritual** (SIP → 季度 audit; 1:1 → 下属定 agenda 80% listen; OKR → 公司级 3-5 个 O)
