This work offers a summary of the book "THE STARFISH AND THE SPIDER: The Unstoppable Power of Leaderless Organizations" by Ori Brafman and Rod Beckstrom.
Ori Brafman is a lifelong entrepreneur with a wireless start-up, a courtroom technology company, a health-food advocacy group and a network of CEOs working on public benefit projects to his credit. Rod Beckstrom is also a serial start-up entrepreneur.
In the natural world, if you cut off a spider´s head, it will die. A starfish is different though. If you cut off one of its legs, not only will the starfish grow another leg but that leg will also grow into a completely new starfish.
The same phenomenon is now starting to emerge in business. Most companies have historically tended to be "spiders" - they have rigid hierarchies and a well defined corporate structure. A few noteworthy companies are now emerging which are structured more like "starfish" - they are leaderless organizations without a rigid hierarchy or other trappings of conventional business. In The Starfish and the Spider, Brafman and Beckstrom learn how to incorporate some starfish principles into your business mind-set to achieve success.
The Starfish and the Spider is a provocative and delightful book for businesspeople. It changes the face of the business world.
