Overview

"What can you learn from a Silicon Valley legend and a pantheon of iconic leaders? The key to scaling a successful business isnt talent, network or strategy. Its an entrepreneurial mindset-a mindset that can be cultivated. Behind the scenes in Silicon Valley, Reid Hoffman (founder of LinkedIn, investor at Greylock) is a sought-after advisor to heads of companies and heads of state. On his podcast Masters of Scale, he sits down with an all-star list of visionary founders and leaders, digging into the surprising strategies that power their growth. In this book, he draws on their most riveting, revealing stories-as well his own experience as a founder and investor-to distill the secrets behind the most extraordinary successes of our times. Here, Hoffman teams up with Masters of Scales executive producers to offer a rare window into the entrepreneurial mind. They share surprising, never-before-told stories from leaders of the worlds most iconic companies, including Apple, Nike, Netflix, Spotify, Google, Instagram, and Microsoft, as well as the bold, disruptive startups-like 23andMe, TaskRabbit, the Black List and the Bevel razor-solving the problems of the twenty-first century. Through vivid storytelling and straightforward 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 "squirmy no"? 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.) Based on more than 100 interviews, and with material never aired on the podcast, Masters of Scale offers a unique insiders guide, filled with insights, wisdom, and strategies that will inspire you to reimagine how you do business"--
