"In addition to being a fascinating and colorful read, this book is
an indispensable guide to organizational change." -Walter Isaacson,
from the foreword "This is a bold argument that leaders can help
teams become greater than the sum of their parts." --Charles
Duhigg, author of The Power of Habit "Team of Teams is erudite,
elegant, and insightful. An unexpected and surprising wealth of
information and wonder, it provides a blueprint for how to cope
with increasing complexity in the world. A must read for anyone who
cares about the future--and that means all of us." --Daniel
Levitin, author of The Organized Mind "Team of Teams is a
compelling, pragmatic argument for a more information-rich,
decentral-ized approach to management from a leader who has
successfully weathered storms with higher stakes than most business
leaders will ever encounter. A must-read book for anyone serious
about taking their leadership further, faster."--John Venhuizen,
president & CEO, Ace Hardware Corporation "General Stan
McChrystal's Team of Teams is an instant classic. Best leadership
book I have read in many a decade, by one of our nation's most
gifted and iconic general officers."--Admiral James Stavridis, USN
(Ret), Supreme Allied Commander at NATO 2009-2013; dean, The
Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, Tufts University "The lessons
and concepts outlined in Team of Teams provide a valuable blueprint
for leader-ship across any industry or domain. The principles of
classical leadership struggle to deal with today's pace of change,
free-flow of information, and the entrepreneurial spirit of the
digital generation. Team of Teams harnesses these new realities as
assets, providing a leader-ship framework to produce the
inclusiveness and adaptability of a fast-moving start-up, at the
scale of any size organization." --Brad Smith, president and CEO,
Intuit "In Team of Teams, General Stanley McChrystal, who won some
of our most striking victories in the great war between nations and
terrorist networks, shares insights for all in this lucid,
persuasive, and sometimes wrenching account of our troubled yet
transformational times." --John Arquilla, professor, Defense
Analysis United States Naval Postgraduate School "In the
fast-moving world of today and tomorrow, organizations that don't
adapt will sim-ply fade. Team of Teams makes this case in
compelling ways. I literally could not put the book down." --Peter
Bergen, author of Manhunt: The Ten-Year Search for Bin Laden from
9/11 to Abbottabad"
