"The chapter titles alone - which intrigue and baffle in equal measure - should compel you to read this 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. And it's all about creating the right culture. Yup. Culture. I bet you didn't see that coming. A culture of speed, ownership, science, and openness. Each of these simple words contains more than you can know, until you read this remarkable book."-- Amy C. Edmondson, Harvard Business School; Author, Right Kind of Wrong: The Science of Failing Well, "[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, "Magnificent contribution [that] will help us navigate society's future in profound ways." -- Clay Christensen, "The chapter titles alone - which intrigue and baffle in equal measure - should compel you to read this 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. And it's all about creating the right culture. Yup. Culture. I bet you didn't see that coming. A culture of speed, ownership, science, and openness. Each of these simple words contains more than you can know, until you read this remarkable book."-- Amy C. Edmondson, Harvard Business School; Author, Right Kind of Wrong: The Science of Failing Well, " 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, "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, "Brynjolfsson and McAfee do an amazing job of explaining the progression of technology, giving us a glimpse of the future, and explaining the economics of these advances. And they provide sound policy prescriptions. Their book could also have been titled Exponential Economics 101it is a must-read."-- Vivek Wadhwa, director of research at Duke University's Pratt School of Engineering and author of The Immigrant Exodus, "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

Synopsis
The Economist 's Best Books of 2023 Forbes Top 10 Business Books of 2023 Financial Times' Monthly Best Business Books to Read Pick 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.

    The book I bought was reasonably priced and when it arrived it was in the 'Like New' condition specified in the listing. However, when I saw that the seller had not shipped the book after more than 15 days had passed since my order I felt I must write to say that I had actually placed an order with the seller and inquire when it planned to send the book. The brusque reply was that a tracking number was available, but no number HAD been created until I pointed out that I had placed the order.
