Publisher's Summary

The team behind How Google Works returns with management lessons from legendary coach and business executive Bill Campbell, whose mentoring of some of our most successful modern entrepreneurs has helped create well over a trillion dollars in market value.

Bill Campbell played an instrumental role in the growth of several prominent companies, such as Google, Apple and Intuit, fostering deep relationships with Silicon Valley visionaries, including Steve Jobs, Larry Page and Eric Schmidt. In addition, this business genius mentored dozens of other important leaders on both coasts, from entrepreneurs to venture capitalists to educators to football players, leaving behind a legacy of growing companies, successful people, respect, friendship and love after his death in 2016.

Leaders at Google for over a decade, Eric Schmidt, Jonathan Rosenberg and Alan Eagle experienced firsthand how the man fondly known as Coach Bill built trusting relationships, fostered personal growth - even in those at the pinnacle of their careers - inspired courage and identified and resolved simmering tensions that inevitably arise in fast-moving environments. To honour their mentor and inspire and teach future generations, they have codified his wisdom in this essential guide.

Based on interviews with over 80 people who knew and loved Bill Campbell, Trillion Dollar Coach explains the coach's principles and illustrates them with stories from the many great people and companies with which he worked.

The result is a blueprint for forward-thinking business leaders and managers that will help them create higher performing and faster moving cultures, teams and companies.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio on our Desktop Site.

Important for managers

A short and necessary tool to enable better management through coaching and care.

There are some important gems sprinkled throughout, I took a lot of notes, and provided some reflection.
I look forward to incorporating some of the suggestions in my own workplace, particularly placing high priorities in the team, and everyone who is in it.

I found this to be valuable and worthy, and I look forward to referring to the highlights as a reminder of where my priorities in the business landscape, need to be.

Best business book in a very long time

I loved this book. The title originally threw me; I thought it was incredibly cliche. But I’m so glad I ended up choosing it. Bill Campbell sounds like a very unique individual and I’m so glad the authors collated these stories once he passed. I’ve read a few of these types of books over the years but this one was head and shoulders above them all. Like Bill, it really cut through the BS and delivered the why and how of his ethos and approaches. It’s the only book I’ve ever finished and then immediately gone back to do it all over again. Get. This. (Audio)Book. 5/5

Really fascinating

A really fascinating look at a man behind so many huge success stories, and really highlights how important a coach can be even at top levels.
