"Extreme Teams: Why Pixar, Netflix, Airbnb, and Other Cutting-Edge Companies Succeed Where Most Fail" by Robert Bruce Shaw. The book examines what makes high-performing teams in leading-edge companies unique, focusing on the key cultural characteristics and management practices that contribute to their success. Shaw explores how companies like Pixar, Netflix, Airbnb, and Whole Foods foster shared obsessions, prioritize cultural fit over individual capabilities, cultivate productive conflict, and manage the delicate balance between results and relationships. He highlights the importance of cultural intelligence and emphasizes that diverse teams can be highly effective in driving innovation if their members possess the skills to navigate cultural differences and leverage diverse perspectives.
