About this listen

From the coauthor of New York Times best seller Team of Teams, a practical guide for leaders looking to make their organizations interconnected and unified in the midst of sudden change.

Too often, companies end up with teams stuck in their own silos, pursuing goals and metrics in isolation. Their traditional autocratic structures create stability, scalability, and predictability - but in a world that demands rapid adaptation to a new reality, this traditional model simply doesn’t work.

In Team of Teams, retired four-star General Stanley McChrystal and former Navy SEAL Chris Fussell made the case for a new organizational model combining the agility, adaptability, and cohesion of a small team with the power and resources of a giant organization. Now, in One Mission, Fussell channels all his experiences, both military and corporate, into powerful strategies for unifying isolated and distrustful teams. This practical guide will help leaders in any field implement the Team of Teams approach to tear down their silos improve collaboration, and avoid turf wars. By committing to one higher mission, organizations develop an overall capability that far exceeds the sum of their parts.

From Silicon Valley software giant Intuit to a government agency on the plains of Oklahoma, organizations have used Fussell’s methods to unite their people around a single compelling vision, resulting in superior performance. One Mission will help you follow their example to a more agile and resilient future.

What the critics say

One Mission sets out the most exciting prospect for re-engineering a twenty-first-century company. For me, this was not a book for bedside reading. I read it upright, taking notes, inspired with thoughts for my own enterprise. Assuming I have the discipline to follow through, these few hours of reading will prove the highest ROI on my time in a dozen years.” (David G. Bradley, chairman of Atlantic Media)

One Mission is required reading for anyone leading people. Fussell’s vivid account of how a team of teams model turned the tide on the battlefield is both inspiring and instructional in helping leaders to navigate the transition from twentieth-century bureaucracy to twenty-first-century complexity.” (Doug McMillon, president and CEO of Walmart)

“Leaders from all sectors will recognize themselves and their organizations in the pages of One Mission. Fussell is an engaging writer, weaving together stories of his military past with tales of the many businesses that he was worked with. The result is a valuable, practical manual of how to make the necessary changes to become a Team of Teams.” (Anne-Marie Slaughter, president and CEO of New America, author of The Chessboard and the Web)

A synthesis of business books with a military analogy

Team of Teams is enough. This book quickly becomes redundant. Also, a lot of the citations are from books easily found at the bookstore, which made the information feel cheap. Case studies and information outside of the military examples are effortlessly found elsewhere.

A few good ideas, but agree with other reviews that this could be an article rather than a book.

2 page idea described in 300 pages

Full of repitition... O&I Forum idea is repeated more than 100 times throughout the book.
Full of uninteresting military stories... full of stupid assumptions that all readers are American.
