About this ebook
This is a must-read summary of Ori Brafman & Rod A. Beckstrom’s The Starfish and the Spider: The Unstoppable Power of Leaderless Organizations Summary
This complete summary of ideas from Ori Brafman and Rod Beckstrom's book "The Starfish and the Spider" shows how today’s corporate landscape is populated with “starfish” and “spiders.” In the natural world, starfish, unlike spiders, possess unusual regenerative powers. If a starfish loses a leg, it will grow another. A new starfish will grow from a severed leg. Like starfish, leaderless organizations are always transforming, in stark contrast to hidebound traditional organizations. Where “spiders” are hierarchical, “starfish” are flat; where “spiders” are fixed and rigid, “starfish” are flexible and fluid; and where “spiders” manage from the top down, “starfish” push responsibility down to the lowest levels. In a competition between “starfish” and “spiders,” “starfish” have the upper hand because they react quickly and nimbly to new challenges. To survive, “spiders” need to be more like “starfish”—or become “starfish” themselves.
