Exponential Organizations
Summary
In business, performance is key. In performance, how you organize can be the key to growth. In the past five years, the business world has seen the birth of a new breed of company - the Exponential Organization - that has revolutionized how a company can accelerate its growth by using technology. An ExO can eliminate the incremental, linear way traditional companies get bigger, leveraging assets like community, big data, algorithms, and new technology into achieving performance benchmarks 10 times better than its peers. Three luminaries of the business world - Salim Ismail, Yuri van Geest, and Mike Malone - have researched this phenomenon and documented 10 characteristics of Exponential Organizations. Here, in Exponential Organizations, they walk the listener through how any company, from a startup to a multinational, can become an ExO, streamline its performance, and grow to the next level. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Team Genius
Summary
Combing vivid reports of the latest scientific research, compelling case studies, and great storytelling, Team Genius show managers and executives how to look at their teams in a radically new way. It explores vital question that could mean the difference between success and obsolescence. Do you know how to re-organize your sub-par teams into top performers? Could you identify which of the top-performing teams in your company are reaching the end of their lifespan? Would you have the courage to shut them down? Would you know how to create the replacement team to be just as effective - without losing time or damaging morale? And most important, are your teams the right size for the job? Rich Karlgaard and Michael S. Malone share insights and real-life examples gleaned from their careers as journalists, analysts, investors, and entrepreneurs who travel the world meeting successful teams and team leaders. Throughout, they reveal some "new truths" about teams, including: The right team size is usually one person less than managers think they need; Everything you know about performance compensation is probably wrong; The greatest challenge facing good teams is not how to succeed, but how to die; Good "chemistry" often makes for the least effective teams; And more. Eye-opening, grounded, and essential, Team Genius is the next big idea that will revolutionize business today - and tomorrow.
