About this audiobook

The team behind How Google Works returns with management lessons from legendary coach and business executive, Bill Campbell, whose mentoring of some of our most successful modern entrepreneurs has helped create well over a trillion dollars in market value.

Bill Campbell played an instrumental role in the growth of several prominent companies, such as Google, Apple, and Intuit, fostering deep relationships with Silicon Valley visionaries, including Steve Jobs, Larry Page, and Eric Schmidt. In addition, this business genius mentored dozens of other important leaders on both coasts, from entrepreneurs to venture capitalists to educators to football players, leaving behind a legacy of growing companies, successful people, respect, friendship, and love after his death in 2016.

Leaders at Google for over a decade, Eric Schmidt, Jonathan Rosenberg, and Alan Eagle experienced firsthand how the man fondly known as Coach Bill built trusting relationships, fostered personal growth—even in those at the pinnacle of their careers—inspired courage, and identified and resolved simmering tensions that inevitably arise in fast-moving environments. To honor their mentor and inspire and teach future generations, they have codified his wisdom in this essential guide.

Based on interviews with over eighty people who knew and loved Bill Campbell, Trillion Dollar Coach explains the Coach’s principles and illustrates them with stories from the many great people and companies with which he worked. The result is a blueprint for forward-thinking business leaders and managers that will help them create higher performing and faster moving cultures, teams, and companies.

    The book provides a good summary about what to consider as a leader and the value of having a coach. I recommend this book for new managers, it offers some perspective.

    This book is a trillion dollar let down - the book doesn't measure up to the man, the legend, the coach. I'd have loved to channel Bill Campbell's colorful language in this review, but out of respect to him and the author's pedigree and hard work, I refrain. There are some great anecdotes, examples, and situations in this book but the codification of the principles, if any, are really poor. I had very high expectations from this book and came away disappointed.

    I had no idea who Bill Campbell was before reading this book. It's testament to the brilliance of this book that at the end of it, I thought to myself "wow, I wish I were Bill's friend. He sounds like an absolutely stellar, phenomenal human being."

    I feel like many people this book was too short but so good! Playing football for most my life this book did a great job of explaining how Bill utilized the concept of team building and showing compassion from football and applying that to the tech industry. Highly recommend reading this book!

    After a slow opening, the book is great. Many stories showing how we can use coaching in organizational environments and improve our communication. There are a few tips, but they are well backed up by both stories and even some research. Great book for me, I’m very happy that it was one of the first books about coaching for me

    It's a very inspiring book. Although this guy has obviously lived an oxtraordinary life and it's hard to copy his behavior it's certainly a nice horizon to aim for

    This is one of the most boring books I have listened to but I am so glad I did not put it down. In fact, I could not do that because it contains life long exceptional experiences that if you think about it critically, are the foundations of business growth as we know it today in America. Bill will forever be remembered and has left a huge print on the sands of time.

    It doesn't seem realistic. "People now clap using the BCC - Bill Campbell Clap". Attributes to Bill almost all good that ever happened on the tech industry.
    If there was another chapter would be probably how Bill helped God develop the universe.
    This book is mostly about praises and has very little useful information.

    Great principles to remember when working with tour team, stakeholders, and anyone really. A good balance of how to be a good coach and why being a bit more open and caring can go a long way in making connections and building trust.

    This book covers general important points about coaching but only loving، caring، honesty and bear hugs cannot be the unique features of a billion dollar coach. It's because bill Campbell himself did not personally share his own thoughts to this book.
