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 more than 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 honor their mentor and inspire and teach future generations, they have codified his wisdom in this essential guide.

Based on interviews with more than 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.

Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

Disappointing

Essentially, a long eulogy for a respected corporate coach. My expectations were not met. Thanks

Good concepts, but not the most captivating

would rate 7/10 and probably wouldn't recommend. Instead I would read How to Win Friends and Influence People again and again and learn the same principles but with better applications. I'm sure Bill was a great coach, but unfortunately I don't think his story was told that well.

Truly inspiring

Bill Campbell was incredibly progressive. As an Agile Leader, most of the subjects brought up in the book seem pretty obvious! But then I quickly remember that most top executives still don't value many of these subjects. I'm now on a mission to have all the top leaders I work with to give this book a read/listen. 10/10

Ça m’a rejoint personnellement

Je ne savais pas trop à quoi m’attendre de ce livre. Mais ça m’a rejoint profondément. J’ai fait beaucoup de sport d’équipe dans ma vie et j’ai toujours trouvé que plusieurs enseignement devrait être adhéré par le monde des affaires

Bill Campbell est l’incarnation de cette pensée. Ce concept de coach est applicable à tous les niveaux, pas juste aux billiardaires

Exceptionally great!

The story of the person behind many of the great silicon valley leaders that you've likely never heard of (because he wanted it that way).

The common thread of his success, and the success of all of the incredible leaders he helped: focus on the people, care about them, and celebrate/support them.

The key insight I took from this: it doesn't matter how successful or experienced you are (eg. Steve Jobs, Eric Schmidt, Larry page, Marisa Mayer, Sheryl Sandburg, etc), having a coach/mentor by your side to see things from an outside perspective and talk things through with you is invaluable.

useful tips for managers big and small

most of the content is aimed towards big executives such as CEOs. The story about Bill who had passed away when the book was made was 100% great words about him. Some tips such as open the team meeting by trip plans are useful for small managers too. Reading is pleasant.
