Description
In a world where traditional hierarchies are no longer effective, organizations must adapt to survive. This book, written by General Stanley McChrystal and others, explores how the US military transformed itself into a "team of teams" during the War on Terror. By discarding traditional management wisdom and embracing decentralized authority, JSOC was able to outmaneuver its enemies and achieve success. The book reveals how this approach can be applied to any organization, from large companies to startups and charities. McChrystal draws on his own experiences, as well as evidence from other fields such as hospital emergency rooms and NASA's space program, to show how organizations can think and act like a team of teams. This approach is not just a response to the challenges of the modern world, but a way to achieve greater success and effectiveness. By embracing small groups that combine freedom to experiment with a relentless drive to share what they've learned, organizations can become more agile, adaptable, and resilient. This book offers a compelling and effective solution to the existential challenge facing today's organizations.
