About this listen

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 honour their mentor and inspire and teach future generations, they have codified his wisdom in this essential guide.

Based on interviews with over 80 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.

a great tale of humanity in the workplace

a hugely relatable tale of a brilliant business coach. Bill seems like someone you'd want as a friend, as much as a trusted advisor. Some great stories

Good advice

Good advice and a couple of good lessons to change your perspective but not particularly gripping narrative or story.

Sounds like a self help book from the 80s

Some good advice but too repetitive. Don’t think bill would have liked it… too much Bs

Good story, miserable voice actor.

Good book. The book taught me a lot and reinforced ideas I’d been noticing at work. Reinforces the concept in other executive books that the real secret to success is being very clever and working with other very clever people.

The voice actor did this really racist Sundar Pichai voice, like those 1950s Spaghetti Westerns where a white guy does the Geronimo voice. It got to the point where I cringed and fast forwarded any time the authors quoted anyone from India.

Great story, but please don’t ask this guy to do Non-American accents... they come across poorly.

Great points that could be told in a third of the time

Great points that could be told in a third of the time. There is very little meat on the bones unfortunately
. Although the points mentioned are very good

One of my new favourite books

Before reading this book I knew nothing about Bill Campbell, after reading it I understand why.
Now he is someone I will look up to within my own career and even in my life outside of work. I will certainly come back and listen to this again and there are very few books I would do that. As you can probably tell, I highly recommend this book.

Great experience

You need to have the patience to finish the first chapter. However, you should know it is needed later.

Great for people who want to improve

A great book, lots to think about. Biggest takeaway is to support teams and the individuals within and managing those teams. When someone endangers the team for their own Ego, fire them
