 What can you learn from a Silicon Valley legend and a pantheon of iconic leaders? The key to scaling a successful business isnât talent, network, or strategy. Itâs an entrepreneurial mindsetâand that mindset can be cultivated.
âIf youâre scaling a companyâor if you just love a well-told storyâthis is a book to savor.ââRobert Iger, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Ride of a Lifetime
Behind the scenes in Silicon Valley, Reid Hoffman (founder of LinkedIn, investor at Greylock) is a sought-after adviser to heads of companies and heads of state. On each episode of his podcast, Masters of Scale, he sits down with a guest from an all-star list of visionary founders and leaders, digging into the surprising strategies that power their companyâs growth. In this book, he draws on their most riveting, revealing storiesâas well as his own experience as a founder and investorâto distill the secrets behind the most extraordinary success stories of our times.
Here, Hoffman teams up with Masters of Scaleâs executive producers to offer a rare window into the entrepreneurial mind, sharing hard-won wisdom from leaders of iconic companies (including Apple, Nike, Netflix, Spotify, Starbucks, Google, Instagram, and Microsoft) as well as the bold, disruptive startups (such as 23andMe, TaskRabbit, Black List, and Walker & Co.) that are solving the problems of the twenty-first century.
Through vivid storytelling and incisive analysis, Masters of Scale distills their collective insights into a set of counterintuitive principles that anyone can use. How do you find a winning idea and turn it into a scalable venture? What can you learn from a âsquirmy noâ? When should you stop listening to your customers? Which fires should you put out right away, and which should you let burn? And can you really make money while making the world a better place? (Answer: Yes. But you have to keep your profits and values aligned.)
Based on more than a hundred interviews and including a wealth of new material never aired on the podcast, this unique insiderâs guide will inspire you to reimagine how you do business today.
