Download Extreme Teams: Why Pixar, Netflix, AirBnB, and Other Cutting-Edge Companies Succeed Where Most Fail AudioBook Free
Managers want great groups, but most build them around decades-old ideas and tactics made popular by companies which may have lost their advantage. Extreme Clubs looks at the new era of teams generating growth in today's most innovative companies. They do this by doing things in different ways: hiring the right person rather than the best person; focusing on one priority while going out of room to explore new ideas; creating a host where people are comfortable dealing with the unpleasant; and maximizing gain not making income what counts most. The book goes inside top companies and examines the teamwork experiments powering their results, including how:
- Pixar's groups use constant feedback and debate to transform primarily flawed motion pictures into billion-dollar strikes
- A culture of radical "freedom and responsibility" helps Netflix execute on another big thing
- Whole Foods' super-autonomous groups adopt hard metrics and friendly competition to operate a vehicle performance
- Zappos fuels the weirdness and fun that sustains its success
