About this listen
Penguin presents the unabridged downloadable audiobook edition of Team of Teams by General Stanley McChrystal, read by Paul Michael.
What if you could combine the agility, adaptability, and cohesion of a small team with the power and resources of a giant organisation?
When General Stanley McChrystal took command of the Joint Special Operations Task Force in Iraq in 2003, he quickly realized that conventional military tactics were failing. The allied forces had a huge advantage in numbers, equipment and training - but none of the enemy's speed and flexibility.
McChrystal and his colleagues discarded a century of conventional wisdom to create a 'team of teams' that combined extremely transparent communication with decentralised decision-making authority. Faster, flatter and more flexible, the task force beat back al-Qaeda.
In this powerful audiobook, McChrystal and his colleagues show how the challenges they faced in Iraq can be relevant to any leader. Through compelling examples, the authors demonstrate that the 'team of teams' strategy has worked everywhere from hospital emergency rooms to NASA and has the potential to transform organisations large and small.

Must listen for anyone thinking about leading organizations in the digital age
Thought provoking thesis that can transform the way you think about organizations and leadership.
I enjoyed that McChrystal himself narrates the chapter summaries. The one down side is that the non-audio versions come with diagrams to explain the concepts, which can be tedious to refer to while listening.

Insightful and a revelation
Easy to relate but could do with more examples. Clear dictation and stoked the interest of the learning mind.

'n Moet lees
'n Baie analitiese, tog praktiese boek wat die ontwikkeling van bestuurstyl ondersoek en volledig bespreek.
