The Starfish and the Spider

The Unstoppable Power of Leaderless Organizations
Summary:

The book explores the contrast between centralized, hierarchical organizations (spiders) and decentralized, leaderless ones (starfish), arguing that the latter are more resilient and adaptable in the face of change. It presents case studies and principles on how decentralized organizations operate and why they can be powerful forces in business and society.

Key points:

1. Decentralization: The book compares hierarchical organizations to spiders, which die if the head is removed, and decentralized organizations to starfish, which can regenerate from any part.
