In this "handbook for disruptors" (Eric Schmidt), The Geek Way reveals a new way to get big things done. It will change the way you think about work, teams, projects, and culture, and give you the insight and tools you need to harness our human superpowers of learning and cooperation.

What is “being geeky?” It’s being a perennially curious person, one who's not afraid to tackle hard problems and embrace unconventional solutions. McAfee shows how the geeks have created a new culture based around four norms: science, ownership, speed, and openness. The geek way seems odd at first. It's not deferential to experts, fond of planning and process, afraid of mistakes, or obsessed with "winning." But it explains everything from why Montessori babies turn out to be creative tinkerers to how newcomers are disrupting industry after industry (and still just getting started).

When all four norms are in place, a culture emerges that is freewheeling, fast-moving, egalitarian, evidence-driven, argumentative, and autonomous. Why does the geek way work so much better? McAfee provides an original answer: because it taps into humanity's superpower, which is our ability to cooperate intensely and learn rapidly. By providing insights from the young discipline of cultural evolution, McAfee shows that when we come together under the right conditions, we quickly figure out how to build reusable spaceships and self-correcting organizations. Under the wrong conditions, though, we create bureaucracy, chronic delays, cultures of silence, and the other classic dysfunctions of the Industrial Era.

Mixing cutting-edge science, history, analysis, and stories that show the geek way in action, McAfee offers a new way to see the world and empowering tools for seizing the big opportunities of today and tomorrow.

Recensione

"The Geek Way makes a fascinating case that the most important technological revolution of our time isn't what companies make, but how they're managed. Andy McAfee is a world-class intellectual provocateur--he never ceases to challenge my assumptions and sharpen my thinking--and reading this book will do the same for you. It's the most compelling analysis I've seen of what Silicon Valley has learned about building more effective organizations, and what they still have to learn."

--Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of THINK AGAIN and HIDDEN POTENTIAL, and host of the TED podcast Re: Thinking

[A] smart, irreverent, informative guide to navigating the future of work. Companies that don't follow The Geek Way, according to author Andy McAfee, will fall behind...Each of these simple words contains more than you can know, until you read this remarkable book.-- "Amy C. Edmondson, Professor of Leadership & Management, Harvard Business School, and author of Right Kind of Wrong"

Andy understands that we haven't just been creating new technologies in Silicon Valley -- we've also been creating new ways to run a company in a world permeated by tech. Here he distills what we've come up with. This book is a handbook for disruptors.-- "Eric Schmidt, former CEO of Google"

By combining management theory, competitive strategy, the science of evolution, psychology, military history, and cultural anthropology, McAfee has produced a remarkable work of synthesis that finally explains, with a single unified theory (which he dubs "the geek way") the reasons why the tech startup approach has taken over so much of the world.-- "Reid Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn and New York Times bestselling author of The Start Up of You"

I can see dead companies. They're the large incumbents who still run themselves as if software isn't eating the world. If you'd rather lead the transformation than be consumed by it, start putting this book's insights into practice as quickly as you can.-- "Steve Jurvetson, geek"

I've worked closely with Andy for more than a decade, I'm still blown away by this book. It's bold and original, relevant and rigorous, and immediately useful for any restless, curious innovator. In other words, for any geek.-- "Erik Brynjolfsson, Director of the Stanford Digital Economy Lab and co-author of the New York Times bestselling The Second Machine Age"

In industry after industry, corporate boards are asking management what their plan is to thrive in an unsettled, fast-changing environment. The Geek Way contains among the best answers I've seen to this critical question.-- "Dambisa Moyo, Global Economist; Member, House of Lords" --Questo testo si riferisce a un'edizione alternativa kindle_edition.

Dalla quarta di copertina

With a foreword by Reid Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn

'A handbook for disruptors' - Eric Schmidt, former CEO of Google

We’re living in a time of amazing innovation, but we’re not paying enough attention to one of the most important of all: the innovation to the company itself. Now, bestselling author of The Second Machine Age, Andrew McAfee, explains how engineers and geeks are changing the world of business – with extraordinary results.

A new model is being pioneered by geeks; a radical new mindset that has shifted the paradigm entirely on what a business can – and should – be. They do not follow the rules of the Industrial era, with their hierarchies and bureaucratic ways of thinking. They do not follow the principles preached in business schools since the dawn of time. They have all dedicated themselves to approaching business as a geek would: through trial and error, egalitarianism, evidence and stress-testing ideas in a group setting – rather than relying on the boss’s instincts.

By investigating and surveying the contemporary research in psychology, economics and the behavioural sciences, as well as first-hand accounts from the ‘geek’ leaders of today, McAfee's groundbreaking exploration of this emerging phenomenon gets to the heart of the tectonic shifts taking place all over the business world. We have entered a new age. And this age will transform how we achieve great things, now and into the future. The future is geek.

'The most compelling analysis I've seen of what Silicon Valley has learned about building more effective organisations' - Adam Grant, host of TED podcast Re: Thinking and No. 1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again --Questo testo si riferisce a un'edizione alternativa kindle_edition.

“[A] smart, irreverent, informative guide to navigating the future of work.

In other words, for any geek."―Erik Brynjolfsson, Director of the Stanford Digital Economy Lab and co-author of the New York Times bestselling The Second Machine Age

“Juxtaposed to our outsized celebrity obsessed culture is the rise of a subtler but infinitely more powerful shift toward geek culture. The hegemony of geekdom in Silicon Valley and across the world is the underlying force that drives innovation and powers our economy. Andrew McAfee’s The Geek Way is the guidebook for understanding this shift and navigating these turbulent times.”―Richard Florida, bestselling author of The Rise of the Creative Class and The New Urban Crisis

“By combining management theory, competitive strategy, the science of evolution, psychology, military history, and cultural anthropology, McAfee has produced a remarkable work of synthesis that finally explains, with a single unified theory (which he dubs "the geek way") the reasons why the tech startup approach has taken over so much of the world.”―Reid Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn and New York Times bestselling author of The Start Up of You

"How fast can you find out you are wrong? This is the predictive metric of success in Silicon Valley. Mcafee explains why the leaders who build organizations that will help everyone who works there learn really quickly whether they are right or wrong will win in the new economy. And he shows why the leaders who allow their success to dampen their eagerness to hear about it when they are wrong have sown the seeds of their own failure. Essential!"―Kim Scott, author of the New York Times bestselling Radical Candor and Radical Respect

"Andrew McAfee's The Geek Way outlines what has become a critical advantage for the United States, for Silicon Valley, and for many American companies. If you wish to understand the last twenty years of American life, and probably the next twenty as well, this book is essential reading."―Tyler Cowen, author of Big Business: A Love Letter to an American Anti-Hero

"Solid business economics meets a nouveau-science insistence on quick learning and quicker cultural evolution...A valuable guide for would-be economic, technical, and cultural disruptors."―Kirkus Reviews

“Touting geek culture as a pathway to transformative business growth, McAfee embraces the definition of geekiness as obsessive and celebrates the burning curiosity that drives inquiry into both the how and the why of solutions…This volume in McAfee’s stable of books will be a welcome addition to business collections in academic and public libraries.”

Too much panergeric

1. The book could be much shorte without so many selective stories. 2. The book might be more appropriate for someone who need a crash course without practical details.

I’ve read each book authored by McAfee along with virtually every paper he’s written. There are few whose writing and articulation of topics I enjoy as much as his. His own curious, original, and independent style of thinking MATCHED with his ability to synthesize a wide body of complex/dynamic ideas AND THEN deliver a unified theory in a clear, unique, and engaging writing style – is second to none. To sum up McAfee: A brilliant thinker… Always guided by interesting questions… Always extensively researched… Always clear in his delivery… And always practitioner-friendly (practical and actionable).

In my own work, The Geek Way is particularly applicable. I help client organizations (executives and practitioner teams) identify how they might best incorporate technology to better compete now and in the future. Our engagements are most often initiated by executive teams approaching us frustrated (and often frantic) with the news that they’ve deployed $XXXM (often ranging hundreds of millions of dollars) into their digital transformation effort but that they haven’t captured value from those investments. Essentially, what began as an attempt to take a page out from the playbook of companies in the tech space to “be more innovative” has spiraled out of control. Those executives are then surprised (and often reluctant) when, instead of diving headfirst into the technology and attempting to perfectly map out what’s going to happen, we focus a majority of the attention on helping them rethink (and redesign) their organizational culture, organizational models (business and operating models), governance, etc. in order to harness the value of these technologies.

McAfee understands what many executives struggle to understand and put into practice, which is: In most cases, it’s NOT the design and development of new technologies that’s holding them back. Instead, what’s often holding them back is a failure to design, build, and lead corresponding new/modern (and more effective) organizational cultures that support innovation, speed, agility, and execution simultaneously. Unleashing new technologies that are “bolted on” to classic, industrial-era corporate culture models is a recipe for disaster. In fact, the rate of change and innovation in these new technologies necessitates an upgrade to the standard corporate culture, a modern company that’s able to move faster and innovate more. In The Geek Way, McAfee provides the playbook to help executives build a modern organization and thrive in a faster-moving world.

What I liked about this book is that everything it is discussing, I kind of already knew about and had figured out for myself, its just that I had never put it all together into a coherent structure. So its great to see it all written down in a framework that makes sense. I feel so empowered by this because I can now explain all these things to other people and have lots of examples to draw on.

The book is quite short, almost a collection of around 6 essays. Perhaps in future edition the author could expand upon specific practices employed to implement the geek way more. More practical guidelines on how to introduce geek culture or maintain it would be welcome. No matter, I still give it 5 stars.

Excellent resource of knowledge

When started reading this book it highlighted importance of speed, ownership, science and openness treats in successful, or how author calls them- geek companies. After initial enlightening pages it started to repeat these ideas and I started to think it will be another 200 pages about circling around the same thing. Fortunately it wasn’t the case, with further content author provided us with numerous real world examples, scientific background and presented it in very interesting narrative. I would recommend this book to anyone who has preferences for managerial role or for someone who asks himself is he/she working in the right company.
