Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

Book Preview: #1 I was hired to be the manager of the Facebook team in May of 2006. I had very little experience, but I was eager to make my mark on the world. I had no institutionalized doctrines or tragic failures to speak of.

#2 The answers to the question, What is the job of a manager. are an assortment of activities. If I asked you, What is the job of a soccer player. you would say that it’s to attend practices, pass the ball to their teammates, and attempt to score goals.

#3 The definition of management is the belief that a team of people can achieve more than a single person going it alone. It is the realization that you don’t have to do everything yourself, be the best at everything yourself, or even know how to do everything yourself.

#4 A great manager’s team will consistently achieve great outcomes. If the outcome you care about is building a thriving lemonade business, then a great manager’s team will turn a higher profit than a mediocre manager’s team.
