Leadership & People
With Eric Schmidt, Jonathan Rosenberg, Alan Eagle
What Bill Campbell actually coached the Steve Jobs / Larry Page / Sundar Pichai bench on. Mostly: how to run a real one-on-one and how to disagree without breaking the team.
How to Use These Ideas in a Business
Read the related title with one current problem in mind: cash flow, delegation, hiring, pipeline, customer process, client communication, risk transfer, leadership conflict, or positioning. Then turn one idea into a written operating rule with an owner, metric, and review date.
