Understanding the amazing force that links some of today's most successful companies
If you cut off a spider's leg, it's crippled; if you cut off its head, it dies. But if you cut off a starfish's leg it grows a new one, and the old leg can grow into an entirely new starfish. What's the hidden power behind the success of Wikipedia, craigslist, and Skype? What do eBay and General Electric have in common with the abolitionist and women's rights movements? What fundamental choice put General Motors and Toyota on vastly different paths? How could winning a Supreme Court case be the biggest mistake MGM could have made? After five years of ground-breaking research, Ori Brafman and Rod Beckstrom share some unexpected answers, gripping stories, and a tapestry of unlikely connections. The Starfish and the Spider argues that organizations fall into two categories: traditional "spiders," which have a rigid hierarchy and top-down leadership, and revolutionary "starfish," which rely on the power of peer relationships. The Starfish and the Spider explores what happens when starfish take on spiders (such as the music industry vs. Napster, Kazaa, and the P2P services that followed). It reveals how established companies and institutions, from IBM to Intuit to the US government, are also learning how to incorporate starfish principles to achieve success. The book explores: * How the Apaches fended off the powerful Spanish army for 200 years
* The power of a simple circle
* The importance of catalysts who have an uncanny ability to bring people together
* How the Internet has become a breeding ground for leaderless organizations
* How Alcoholics Anonymous has reached untold millions with only a shared ideology and without a leader
The Starfish and the Spider is the rare book that will change how you understand the world around you.

有点老了,有些例子后来已经改变。中心思想倒是不变的

Starfish换句话翻译过来既可以指乌合之众又可以指群龙无首,这种看似按照吸引力法则搭建起来的组织架构实际上是可遇不可求的。适当去中心化有必要,但是现在海星式组织的问题已经愈演愈烈,海星式组织里面的剥削和无脑真的不是一个两个字能形容的,这本书越看越气,读到最后一股脑扔掉了。

张老师的卡打0.5…对比了一下书中提到的组织者的quality,总体是外向、对世界充满好奇,同时同情心爆棚+情商很高+啥都不爱干涉。肯定有这样的人存在(虽然我有印象的都是虚构作品的角色)但比较起来野心勃勃+控制欲极强的性格才是最近两百年被大量驯化出来的品种吧
