Silicon Valley is renowned for its striking number of businesses which have grown from garage start-ups into global giants - Apple, Cisco, Google, HP and Intel, to name a few. But what is the secret to their outstanding success? Hoffman and Yeh explain that it’s simple: they’ve learnt how to blitzscale. Featuring case studies from numerous prominent tech businesses such as AirBnB and WeChat, this book offers a specific set of practices for catalysing and managing dizzying growth in burgeoning start-ups. 

The employer-employee relationship is broken, and managers face a seemingly impossible dilemma: the old model of guaranteed long-term employment no longer works in a business environment defined by continuous change, but neither does a system in which every employee acts like a free agent. The solution? Stop thinking of employees as either family or free agents. Think of them instead as allies.

This book will inspire you to: overhaul performance management practices to jump-start motivation and engagement; use agile processes to transform how you hire, develop, and manage people; establish diversity programs that increase innovation and competitiveness as well as inclusion; use people analytics to bring unprecedented insight to hiring and talent management; prepare your company for the double waves of artificial intelligence and an older workforce; and close the gap between HR and strategy. 

Random House presents the audiobook edition of The Meaning Revolution, written and read by Fred Kofman, with a foreword by Reid Hoffman read by Arthur Morey. Forget the standard practices of leadership taught in business school - all about compensation, command and control. This is a new model for how to inspire - through purpose, principle and people. The Meaning Revolution is Fred Kofman's call to arms for anyone who has ever felt unengaged at work and offers actionable advice for how we can all find more meaning and dignity whatever we do.

In a world where wages are virtually stagnant, creative disruption is rocking every industry, global competition for jobs is fierce, and job security is a thing of the past, we're all on our own when it comes to our careers. In the face of such uncertainty, the key to success is to think and act likes an entrepreneur: to be nimble and self-reliant, to be innovative, and to know how to network and stand out from the crowd. And this is precisely what Hoffman and Casnocha show you how to do in a book that is both inspirational and practical.

Reid Hoffman, cofounder and executive chairman of LinkedIn, Ben Casnocha, co-author of “The Start-Up of You”, and Chris Yeh, vice president of marketing at PBworks, write about how to attract an entrepreneurial workforce by offering relationships built on reciprocity and alliance.

Este libro cambiará tu forma de pensar: tu trabajo no es tu trabajo, no es suficiente hacer tu mejor esfuerzo y triunfar.

El enfoque de liderazgo de Fred es una mezcla de economía y teoría empresarial, en parte compuesto de comunicación y capacitación en resolución de conflictos, parte consejería familiar, parte meditación y consideración. ¿Qué se puede esperar de un graduado de Berkeley que realiza retiros de silencio que duran un mes?
