The Starfish and the Spider: The Unstoppable Power of Leaderless Organizations - Ori Brafman

Descriere The Starfish and the Spider: The Unstoppable Power of Leaderless Organizations - Ori Brafman

Using starfish and spiders to illustrate two types of corporate organizations, this book explores how established companies and institutions must incorporate new ideas in order to continue their success. \nIf you cut off a spider's head, it dies; if you cut off a starfish's leg it grows a new one, and that leg can grow into an entirely new starfish. Traditional top-down organizations are like spiders, but now starfish organizations are changing the face of business and the world. \n What's the hidden power behind the success of Wikipedia, craigslist, and Skype? What do eBay and General Electric have in common with the abolitionist and women's rights movements? What fundamental choice put General Motors and Toyota on vastly different paths? \n \n Ori Brafman and Rod Beckstrom have discovered some unexpected answers, gripping stories, and a tapestry of unlikely connections. The Starfish and the Spider explores what happens when starfish take on spiders and reveals how established companies and institutions, from IBM to Intuit to the U.S. government, are also learning how to incorporate starfish principles to achieve success.\n
