Stanley A. McChrystal

As commander of Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC), General Stanley McChrystal discarded a century of management wisdom and pivoted from a pursuit of mechanical efficiency to organic adaptability. In this book, he shows how any organization can make the same transition to act like a team of teams - where small groups combine the freedom to experiment with a relentless drive to share their experience. Drawing on a wealth of evidence from his military career and sources as diverse as hospital emergency rooms and NASA's space program, McChrystal frames the existential challenge facing today's organizations, and presents a compelling, effective solution.

Team of Teams

General Stanley McChrystal

What if you could combine the agility, adaptability, and cohesion of a small team with the power and resources of a giant organization? 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 decentralized decision-making authority. Faster, flatter and more flexible, the task force beat back al-Qaeda. In this powerful book, 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 organizations large and small. 'A bold argument that leaders can help teams become greater than the sum of their parts' Charles Duhigg, author of The Power of Habit 'An indispensable guide to organizational change' Walter Isaacson, author of Steve Jobs

In One Mission, former Navy SEAL Chris Fussell draws on his extensive experience of high-pressure team work to show how organizations can apply lessons from the field to successfully transform their way of doing business – becoming flatter, quicker, and much more collaborative across departments and divisions. 'Chris Fussell is one of the most dynamic thinkers of our day. His ideas and his perspectives have challenged many of my own assumptions and pushed me to think bigger. I’m smarter because of Chris Fussell. Read this book!' Simon Sinek, bestselling author of Start With Why Whilst sharing his own military experience, Fussell explores examples of transition in companies ranging from industry titans like Intuit and Under Armour to small businesses, which have all adopted the ‘Team of Teams’ model in order to unite everyone around single compelling mission. The result is a ‘shared consciousness’ that drives consistently better results with less friction and inter-group rivalry. One Mission is a practical handbook for any leader looking to evolve their workforce into a highly mobile and effective unit and inspire their teams to look beyond their narrow field of vision to understand – and effectively contribute to – the organization’s one true mission. The steps of transition include: · Achieving strategic alignment: communicating organizational priorities down the chain of command. · Determining operating rhythm: organizing regular company catch up and feedback sessions. · Setting up communication and decision-making processes: developing a hybrid decision-making structure to empower and inspire every person on the team. · Shifting leadership behaviour: ensuring successful transition with radical humility by starting with the leader and continuing down the chain of command.

"In Team of Teams, retired four-star General Stanley McChrystal and former Navy SEAL Chris Fussell made the case for a new organizational model combining the agility, adaptability, and cohesion of a small team with the power and resources of a giant organization. Now, in One Mission, Fussell channels all his experiences, both military and corporate, into powerful strategies for unifying isolated and distrustful teams."--

How Leaders Build a Team of Teams

Stanley McChrystal

Hogyan egyesítsük a kis csapatokra jellemző rugalmasságot és összetartást a nagy szervezetek lehetőségeivel és erőforrásaival? Stanley McChrystal tábornok óriási, nemzetközi szövetségesekből álló, hierarchikus felépítésű, fegyelmezett hadi gépezetet vezetett, ám az al-Káidával szemben mit sem számított létszámbeli, felszerelésben és kiképzettségben megmutatkozó fölényük. A hadsereg hagyományos működése nem felelt meg napjaink hadviselésének, ezért McChrystal a háború kellős közepén átláthatóan kommunikáló, decentralizált hálózattá alakította csapatait. A háborúban tapasztalt kihívások tanulságai az üzleti vállalkozások, nonprofit és egyéb szervezetek számára is példaértékűek. A könyv által ismertetett stratégia minden területen működőképes, akár egy kórházról, akár a NASA-ról van szó, és a vezetők akkor cselekednek a legbölcsebben, ha kísérletezési szabadsággal és szervezeti szintű rálátással ruházzák fel csapataikat.
