The team behind How Google Works returns with management lessons from legendary coach and business executive, Bill Campbell, whose mentoring of some of our most successful modern entrepreneurs has helped create well over a trillion dollars in market value.

Bill Campbell played an instrumental role in the growth of several prominent companies, such as Google, Apple, and Intuit, fostering deep relationships with Silicon Valley visionaries, including Steve Jobs, Larry Page, and Eric Schmidt. In addition, this business genius mentored dozens of other important leaders on both coasts, from entrepreneurs to venture capitalists to educators to football players, leaving behind a legacy of growing companies, successful people, respect, friendship, and love after his death in 2016.

Leaders at Google for over a decade, Eric Schmidt, Jonathan Rosenberg, and Alan Eagle experienced firsthand how the man fondly known as Coach Bill built trusting relationships, fostered personal growth—even in those at the pinnacle of their careers—inspired courage, and identified and resolved simmering tensions that inevitably arise in fast-moving environments. To honor their mentor and inspire and teach future generations, they have codified his wisdom in this essential guide.

Based on interviews with over eighty people who knew and loved Bill Campbell, Trillion Dollar Coach explains the Coach’s principles and illustrates them with stories from the many great people and companies with which he worked. The result is a blueprint for forward-thinking business leaders and managers that will help them create higher performing and faster moving cultures, teams, and companies.

作为团队指导的一部分，本书提到了谷歌独特的开会方式。在每周全员会议开始前，谷歌经常以“周末做了什么”环节为开场，两位创始人拉里·佩奇和谢尔盖·布林也会参与，类似风筝冲浪的逸事、极限健身的近况，经常能引起同事们的浓厚兴趣。这样的沟通策略，是比尔和埃里克一起改进的成果，目的在于创造有趣的工作环境，消除紧张的职场氛围，增进同事情谊。这也是比尔作为商业教练最重要的理念之一——“人最重要”。人是所有公司成功的基础，而优秀的管理者懂得如何创造一种充满能量的环境，并通过支持、尊重和信任，帮助优秀的员工实现卓越和成长。
