What is the secret to starting and scaling massively valuable companies?

Blitzscaling is a specific set of practices for igniting and managing dizzying growth. It prioritizes speed over efficiency in an environment of uncertainty, and allows a company to go from “startup” to “scaleup” at a furious pace that captures the market.

Drawing on their experiences scaling startups into billion-dollar businesses, Reid Hoffman and Chris Yeh offer a framework for blitzscaling that can be adapted to nearly any region or industry. Readers will learn how to design business models that support lightning-fast growth, navigate necessary shifts in strategy at each level of scale, and weather the management challenges that arise as their company grows.

THE ALLIANCE

by Reid Hoffman, Ben Casnocha, and Chris Yeh
(a New York Times best-seller)

The employer-employee relationship is broken. Managers face a seemingly impossible dilemma: You can’t afford to offer lifetime employment. But you canít build a lasting, innovative business when everyone acts like a free agent.

The solution: Stop thinking of employees as family or free agents, and start thinking of them as allies on a tour of duty.

The Alliance teaches managers how to recruit, manage, and retain the entrepreneurial employees your business needs to succeed in the networked age.

“The must-read book of the summer… The Alliance shows how the workplace has changed in recent decades, and how these changes have broken down in the trust in the relationship between employers and employees, to everyone’s detriment. And then it shows a way forward so that all benefit.”
