About this audiobook

University of Southern California business professor Bennis and Los Angeles Times reporter Biederman examine six "Great Groups" whose work affected and sometimes changed the modern world. They are the Disney organization and its animated films; the Xerox Corporation's Palo Alto Research Center, which designed the first user-friendly computer; the Clinton presidential campaign of 1992 for what the authors deem a remarkable victory; Lockheed's Skunk Works, where the U-2 spy plane and the Stealth bomber were developed; Black Mountain College in the foothills of North Carolina, which lasted only from 1933 to 1956 but attracted many major artists; and the Manhattan Project, whose scientists created the atomic bomb. All of these groups, the authors stress, consisted of enormously talented people with a sense of mission, who worked under a strong leader and were imbued with pragmatic optimism. Each segment is so well told that it has lessons for all.

    We are quite accustomed to the idea (or: myth) of the Great Man -- Steve Jobs as the creator of Apple's ingenious products, Muhammad Yunus as the founder of microcredit etc. This book is about creative collaboration which is required to solve the most complex problems. It's about the dynamics of Steve Jobs and his team at Apple, about Leslie Groves, Robert Oppenheimer and their team of scientists at Los Alamos building the first atomic bomb. Although every great group has a strong leader, these groups are able to change the course of history because they are full of extraordinarily talented people who can work together.
