With a foreword by Reid Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn
'A handbook for disruptors' - Eric Schmidt, former CEO of Google
Learn how the 'geek' mindset is revolutionizing the corporate world by breaking all the rules to transform business culture, leadership, and personal successes.
We’re living in a time of amazing technological innovation, but we’re not paying enough attention to one of the most important innovations of all . . .
This innovation is to the company itself – a new model is being pioneered by geeks who have instituted 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.
In The Geek Way, author and research scientist Andrew McAfee's groundbreaking exploration of this emerging phenomenon gets to the heart of the tectonic shifts taking place all over the business world.
The future will be ‘geek’. By investigating contemporary research in psychology, economics and behavioural sciences, as well as first-hand accounts from the ‘geek’ leaders of today, McAfee shows us how this new age will transform everything we think we know about how business is done, now and into the future.
'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
