Trillion Dollar Coach: The Leadership Handbook of Silicon Valley's Bill Campbell by Eric Schmidt, Jonathan Rosenberg, and Alan Eagle

BATB score: 9/10

*BATB re-read still legit but less wow*

Best to: RIP Bill Campbell, you set the bar really high on people manager roles and responsibilities above and beyond on all fronts

Best as: a playbook for leaders for every office situation imaginable

Best for: when they strip you off your title, do people still follow you? If yes, congratulations, you are a true leader.

BATB lingering thought: as leaders, when you clap for your team, clap with energy and genuine enthusiasm; go boom boom clap with that clap

Best quotes: “After all, the higher you climb, the more your success depends on making other people successful.”

“Your title makes you a manager. Your people make you a leader.”

“”What keeps you up at night?” is a traditional question asked of executives […] the answer was always the same; the well-being and success of my people.”

“A coach is someone who tells you what you don’t want to hear, who has you see what you don’t want to see, so you can be who you have always known you could be.”

“Founders: they are sane enough to know that every day is a fight for survival against daunting odds and crazy enough to think they can succeed anyways.”

“If you’ve been blessed, be a blessing.”
