The retired four-star basic and best-selling author of My Share of the Activity shares a powerful new leadership model Former basic Stanley McChrystal placed an integral position for much of the Warfare on Terror, as head of the Joint Special Procedures Order. In Iraq he discovered that despite the vastly superior resources, manpower, and training of the united states government, Al Qaeda experienced an advantage due to its structure as a loose network of small, indie cells. Those skin cells wreaked havoc by always being one step ahead, sharing knowledge with each other via high-tech marketing communications. To defeat such an agile foe, JSOC had to change its concentration from efficiency to adaptability. McChrystal led the change of his makes into a network that combined robust centralized communication ("shared consciousness") with decentralized managerial authority ("empowered execution"). Now he shows not only how the government made that changeover but also how similar shifts are possible in all sorts of organizations, from large companies to startups to charities to administration agencies. In an environment of immediate change, the best organizations think and act like a team of clubs, embracing small groupings that incorporate the independence to test out a relentless drive to talk about what they've discovered. McChrystal and his colleagues make clear their process for aiding organizations accept this model. In addition they share exciting research and cases from settings as diverse as emergency rooms and NASA's quest control center. Read by Paul Michael.
