Rich Karlgaard and Michael S. Malone
From the acknowledgments of Team Genius: “Thanks to Jeff Leeson of Benson-Collister for his invaluable advice on the book’s organization. Jeff’s talents and hard work took this book to a level the two of us could not have reached without them.”
Jeff provided detailed editorial feedback and a final draft polish for this trade business book by Rich Karlgaard, the Publisher of Forbes, and Michael Malone, one of the world’s most well-known technology writers.
From the back cover: “Teams—we depend on them for both our professional success and our personal happiness. But isn’t it odd how little scrutiny we give them? The teams that make up our lives are created mostly by luck, happenstance, or circumstance—but rarely by design. In trivial matters—say, a bowling team, the leadership of a neighborhood group, or a holiday party committee—success by serendipity is already risky enough. But when it comes to actions by fast-moving start-ups, major corporations, nonprofit institutions, and governments, leaving things to chance can be downright dangerous.”
