Story
For decades, Peter F. Drucker was widely regarded as "the dean of this country's business and management philosophers" ( Wall Street Journal). In this concise and brilliant work, he looks to the most influential position in management - the executive. The measure of the executive, Drucker reminds us, is the ability to "get the right things done". This usually involves doing what other people have overlooked as well as avoiding what is unproductive.

Activist Business is the Way of the Future

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.

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.

Trillion Dollar Coach is a gift of Coaching wisdom
I am grateful to Bill Eckstrom (CEO, EcSell Institute) for recommending I read/listen to this book. This book is packed with the principles and wisdom of a very unique individual who’s ability to see the true potential in people is unmatched in my experience (30 years in sales and sales leadership). This is must read for anyone in a leadership role. Being a good coach is essential to being a good manager/leader and this book describes how to make this happen.

Good, but not yet great
This book has some interesting lessons and messages to teach us. However, it doesn’t do a great job delivering the message and is missing a cohesive storyline more than anything else. It feels like a book that has been water down by the fear of offending someone. Instead of taking a direct approach and diving into topics the authors circle around them a few times. It was a frustrating to listen to at times as it was clears Bill Campbell has something valuable to teach us, but it was not well delivered. It didn’t talk at all about any character flows of the coach and how he came to learn all his knowledge which would really help the reader relate to him.

I didn't learn much from this book
I bought this book with high expectations as I have read the authors' previous book on "How Google works" What I learned from this book can be put in two lines. Bill Campbell was a great coach. And it is good to have a coach for anybody especially for the top level executives of a company. I would say it could have been compressed in to an online article, rather than a book of its own. I have no idea how this book is getting so many 5 stars.

This is a eulogy, not a "playbook."
TL/DR: Apply good football coaching principles to the business world = help silicon valley companies make trillions. If you're looking for leadership & growth insights, you'll get what you're looking for more densely & expediently from the likes of Peter Drucker or John Maxwell. This book is ultimately a massive name-check storytelling session for silicon valley power players to eulogize their beloved coach. The best thing it accomplishes is animating the story of an inspirational, colorful leader, and perhaps show those who aren't in the know that coaching is necessary for growth. While these are both valuable things, they hardly amount to a "playbook" as the title suggests. What really gets me, though, is the narrator. He does this awful thing where he feigns the accents of contributors to this book when he's reading their passages. Is it really necessary for this white guy to mock an Indian accent? These passages are written in English, same as the rest who aren't ESL speakers.

A Heart-centered Counterpoint
Everything in this book is actionable - it’s just different than most business or leadership books because Bill Campbell was different than most business people. The point to bring the heart, sincere relationship, “soft” skills, love, and family into the work place is well communicated and timely. It was difficult to distill the traits of such a enigmatic personality into a “playbook” I am sure but they did a good job.

A great topic but a miss in the conception
The topic was incredibly good but the way they made it, with too much details and not enough clarity missed the quality the book could have been. A great work in term of research and lacking a clear plan in the development.
