Retired four-star general Stanley McChrystal shares a powerful new leadership model.

As commander of Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC), General Stanley McChrystal discarded a century of management wisdom and pivoted from a pursuit of mechanical efficiency to organic adaptability.

In Team of Teams, he shows how any organisation can make the same transition to act like a team of teamsβ€”where small groups combine the freedom to experiment with a relentless drive to share their experience.

Drawing on a wealth of evidence from his military career and sources as diverse as hospital emergency rooms and NASA's space program, McChrystal frames the existential challenge facing today's organisations and presents a compelling, effective solution.
