Managers want great teams, but most build them around decades-old ideas and practices made popular by companies that have lost their edge. Extreme Teams looks at the new generation of teams driving growth in today's most innovative firms. They do this by doing things differently: hiring the right person instead of the best person; focusing on one priority while leaving room to explore new ideas; creating an environment where people are comfortable dealing with the uncomfortable.

John Winthrop, who settled and defined it, believed Americans were God's new chosen people.

Excelente compendio… para re-leer y meditar
Monedas de oro que van cayendo poco a poco de la extraordinaria intuición de Drucker tras sus años de sólida experiencia y maduración del tema. Es un libro de referencia, de varias lecturas, de trabajo.
En los últimos dos capítulos discrepo con su visión de futuro en temas como la familia y la filosofía del conocimiento.

One of the best management books I've read
This book opened my eyes on what management really is, beyond just business management. We are thought that management is all about business process but listening to this book, I realised that there is more than that.
Narrator performance is amazing and the book is eye opening for everyone aspiring to be a good or great manager.
Strongly recommend it.

Drucker is the GOAT
Drucker is a legend and a philosopher-king. No wonder he is rightly deemed the business philosopher – his work transcends everything else out there, and is on the level of a fine art masterpiece or comparable achievement of human thought.
Much of the book is a straight compilation from The Effective Executive, Managing Oneself, and Innovation and entrepreneurship – but there are still many hidden gems throughout that I’ve not yet read anywhere else.
Narration was way too fast for the amount of content and its high level nature. I listened on 0.8x speed to make palatable.

A very good use of 11 hours of your life
There are many great points in The Essential Drucker but as indicated in the subtitle, some of the information is quite dated. The book was published in 2000, nearly 20 years ago by now and some of the articles were written 60 years before that. Some would argue that the test of time proves it's worth, to which I would agree. Peter Drucker's business sense has proven the test of time but Peter's crystal ball wasn't perfect. You won't find a better source for business knowledge but you'll have to overlook some of the dated examples.

Timeless
Drucker’s crystal ball at times is amazingly accurate. The true value in this piece is that many of his theories/thoughts (some examples though obviously dated) have withstood the test of time. A lot of what we take for granted was thought pioneered by him. Several more recent pieces (Good to Great and Atomic Habits are two that come immediately to mind) have concepts that are rounded off of Drucker’s work. A must read for all professions.
