Story
The Fearless Organization offers practical guidance for teams and organizations who are serious about success in the modern economy. With so much riding on innovation, creativity, and spark, it is essential to attract and retain quality talent, but what good does this talent do if no one is able to speak their mind? The traditional culture of "fitting in" and "going along" spells doom in the knowledge economy. Success requires a continuous influx of new ideas, new challenges, and critical thought, and the interpersonal climate must not suppress, silence, ridicule, or intimidate.

These "bots" started with human programming and logic, but now their reach extends beyond what their creators ever expected.

Are you above average? Is your child an A student? Is your employee an introvert or an extrovert? Every day we are measured against the yardstick of averages, judged according to how close we come to it or how far we deviate from it. The assumption that metrics comparing us to an average—like GPAs, personality test results, and performance review ratings—reveal something meaningful about our potential is so ingrained in our consciousness that we don't even question it. That assumption, says Harvard's Todd Rose, is spectacularly—and scientifically—wrong.

Publisher's Summary
After the publication of his New York Times best-selling book, The Lean Startup, entrepreneur and author Eric Ries traveled the world helping companies of every size adopt the Lean Startup approach in order to become more nimble and experimental no matter what their mission. The Leader’s Guide collects and distills the practical, results-oriented advice Ries has dispensed to entrepreneurs, executives, and leaders at early-stage startups, blue chip corporations, and massive federal government agencies.
The Leader’s Guide is for both those who are new to Lean Startup as well as those who love the methodology in principle, but want to know more about how to put it into practice. Packed with real-world examples, the book sheds light on how innovators are tackling questions like:
- How can I convince my team that testing our early ideas with customers doesn’t mean we should sacrifice quality or forget about our vision?
- How can I convince senior leadership that innovation projects require a different system of accounting?
- How can we turn functional specialists in areas like IT, HR, and finance into allies when it comes to supporting new ideas?
Each chapter focuses on an essential principle of Lean Startup strategy and includes an interview with leaders who have been using the method effectively, like Dustin Moskovitz, CEO and founder of Asana, and Chris Boeckerman, Director of Innovation at Procter & Gamble.
Whether you’ve just discovered The Lean Startup, are a practitioner who wants to dive deeper, or work at a company trying to incorporate it at scale, The Leader’s Guide is the ultimate master class in successfully implementing Lean Startup methodology at your organization.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
Editorial Review
Move fast and listen to good leadership advice Through his books The Startup Way and The Lean Startup, Eric Ries has achieved leadership-guru status among those hoping to emulate the success of companies born and bred in and around Silicon Valley—both literally and zeitgeistily. (If you’ve seen a lot of email signatures with variations on the word "entrepreneur" in them, you probably have him to thank.) Buzzwords aside, getting managers to embrace the "move fast and break things" mentality espoused by a certain Northern Californian breed of employee isn’t always easy. That’s why Ries’s Leader's Guide, with its prescriptive advice on how to implement these iconoclastic philosophies, is bound to be a must-listen for the new-era workplace. —Courtney R., Audible Editor

Valuable insights and practical advice for leaders in any size company
I was incredibly impressed with the quality of this audio book. I’m always a little wary when an author decides to narrate their own book - even if the content is great, poor narration will ruins any audio book.
Fortunately, Eric Ries delivered an impeccable narration performance, with excellent pacing, good valence shifts, and even different voices when quoting other people. He also includes several fascinating interviews with business leaders, and it made for great listening.
Regarding the content itself, I wasn’t sure how relevant it would be to me. In my day job, I’m basically a middle-manager, and I run a small business doing consulting work on the side. It turns out this whole book was perfect for me - great tools, clearly articulated principles, and useful actions I can take to move forward both in a bigger company and with my own work.
I think this book is incredibly useful for anyone interested in business, lean start up, and how to bring about positive change at any level of the organization.
Highly recommended!

Worth reading (even more if you haven’t read the lean startup yet)
There is not much new in this book if you have read the lean startup. The same concepts are discussed at a much higher level with little detail but extensive examples and practical use of the concepts.
If you are doubting whether you should read the lean startup or not, then start here and you will certainly be hungering for more and be reto take the full learning from the original book.
However if you have already started your lean start up journey this book could be a good source to keep your motivation in hard moments. Review the basics concepts and pepper your learning with new examples and practical ideas.
At the end of the book you get a bonus on change management which reads to me as the intro of the next book.
In all cases you won’t waste your time reading it. Be mindful of what YIU can expect.

Another repackaging
if you've read one Lean Startup book, you've read them all #IMHO. The ideas and presentation are fine. There's just not much that's new about it. Same ideas, different context Then again, I suppose that's also the nature of innovation in a way isn't it?

Read 'The Lean Startup' and skip this re-hash
This book did not live up to its description. For me, this was not a 'leader's guide' - it repeated the information in Eric Ries' very good book 'The Lean Startup' and added some interviews from mgrs who successfully employed those techniques. The problem is that the interviews were very shallow. The idea behind this book was fine, but the execution fell very short - it is not a 'Leader's Guide'. Save your time and money - read 'The Lean Startup' and skip 'The Leader's Guide'.

Big Companies' life insurance
I read the Lean Startup quite a while ago and loved it.
This book is taking the lean startup into big companies, dealing with company culture, metrics which only measure success not celebrate failure and learning.
I especially liked the comparison of the little innovative group in big companies to a life insurance from one of Eric's guests. Big companies can be like dinosaurs and hard to change. If you create small teams, encourage people to speak up, you can try to ensure the company won't go under as times change.
I am so happy that even big companies are starting to change.
