Fascinating book about dynamics of "great groups"; highly recommended ( )
  jtfairbro | Sep 29, 2009 |
We are quite accustomed to the idea (or: myth) of the Great Man -- Steve Jobs as the creator of Apple's ingenious products, Muhammad Yunus as the founder of microcredit etc. This book is about creative collaboration which is required to solve the most complex problems. It's about the dynamics of Steve Jobs and his team at Apple, about Leslie Groves, Robert Oppenheimer and their team of scientists at Los Alamos building the first atomic bomb.

Although every great group has a strong leader, these groups are able to change the course of history because they are full of extraordinarily talented people who can work together. ( )
