"A eficiência continua a ser importante, mas a capacidade de adaptar-se à complexidade e à mudança tornou-se um imperativo". Em um momento de crises sem precedentes as ações devem ser rapidamente difundidas para todas as pessoas envolvidas de forma clara e precisa, descentralizada, porém coesa. Com base na experiência do General Stanley McChrystal, combatendo a Al Qaeda e liderando tropas de vários países, "Time de Times" adapta as táticas de guerra ao mundo dos negócios, demonstrando como a vivência combatendo grupos terroristas é perfeitamente adaptada aos negócios e a todas as áreas onde a gestão de pessoas é vital. Um livro imprescindível para gestores, diretores e empreendedores em geral.

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.

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. Along with sharing his own military experience, Fussell explores industry titans like Intuit and Under Armour, which have 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.Using case studies and providing practical solutions, One Mission shows how to harness the agility, adaptability, and cohesion of small teams and break down company silos to deliver extraordinary results across any size of organization.One Mission is for any leader who wants to 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: every organization thinks it has sufficiently communicated its priorities down the chain of command, but rarely is this alignment sufficient.- Determining operating rhythm: annual or six-monthly town hall alignment gathers are no longer regular enough to communicate messages urgently and risk putting entire companies out of date.- Setting up communication and decision-making processes: not every person in an organization is qualified for the decision-making freedom ideal in a flexible team. Fussell shows how a hybrid structure can empower and inspire every person on the team while still restricting the decision-making process appropriately.- Shifting leadership behaviour: radical humility, beginning with the leader and continuing down the chain of command, is the key to a successful transition.Including examples of transition in companies ranging from Intuit to the U.S. Army to small businesses, One Mission is a practical handbook for anyone looking to evolve their workforce into a highly mobile and effective unit that can unlock the potential of the individual talents that make up their teams in a way many would have thought impossible.

From the co-author of the New York Times bestseller Team of Teams, a practical guide for leaders looking to make their organizations more interconnected and unified in the midst of sudden change. Too often, companies end up with teams stuck in their own silos, pursuing goals and metrics in isolation. Their traditional autocratic structures create stability, scalability, and predictability -- but in a world that demands rapid adaptation to a new reality, this traditional model simply doesn’t work. 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. This practical guide will help leaders in any field implement the Team of Teams approach to tear down their silos improve collaboration, and avoid turf wars. By committing to one higher mission, organizations develop an overall capability that far exceeds the sum of their parts. From Silicon Valley software giant Intuit to a government agency on the plains of Oklahoma, organizations have used Fussell’s methods to unite their people around a single compelling vision, resulting in superior performance. One Mission will help you follow their example to a more agile and resilient future.

From the New York Times bestselling author of My Share of the Task and Leaders comes a manual for leaders looking to make their teams more adaptable, agile, and unified in the midst of change. When General Stanley McChrystal took command of the Joint Special Operations Task Force in 2004, he quickly realized that conventional military tactics were failing. Al Qaeda in Iraq was a decentralized network that could move quickly, strike ruthlessly, then seemingly vanish into the local population. The allied forces had a huge advantage in numbers, equipment, and training—but none of that seemed to matter. To defeat Al Qaeda, they would have to combine the power of the world’s mightiest military with the agility of the world’s most fearsome terrorist network. They would have to become a "team of teams"—faster, flatter, and more flexible than ever. In Team of Teams, McChrystal and his colleagues show how the challenges they faced in Iraq can be relu00adevant to countless businesses, nonprofits, and oru00adganizations today. In periods of unprecedented crisis, leaders need practical management practices that can scale to thousands of people—and fast. By giving small groups the freedom to experiment and share what they learn across the entire organizau00adtion, teams can respond more quickly, communicate more freely, and make better and faster decisions. Drawing on compelling examples—from NASA to hospital emergency rooms—Team of Teams makes the case for merging the power of a large corporation with the agility of a small team to transform any organization.
