The Small Teams System. A Radical Way to Increase Business Efficiency

Some companies are like swamps. You constantly get bogged down in bureaucracy, a million approvals, and blurred responsibilities. But even a swamp can be beneficial and profitable if it is… drained.

This is what Brady Brim-Deforest talks about – an international expert in organizational transformation, a consultant for companies on the Fortune 1000 list. He explains that the corporate swamp will only start to "work" when the company transitions to a system of small autonomous teams. Therefore, the author proposes an experiment. Assemble an autonomous team from your employees for one project – how to select the right people is detailed in the book. And if you like the result – which you will – by following Brady's instructions, you will be able to scale the success and simply enjoy the outcome.

The author also discusses:

— why strategic redundancy is needed;

— why a team of five people will achieve a more significant result in a shorter time than an entire department;

— how and why to combine narrowly specialized and general specialists in one team.
