This is a practical guide to team building, written by the captain of a US military nuclear submarine. A new leader comes to the worst team in the fleet, and within six months the team becomes the best and remains so for many years even after the leader leaves.
The methods used do not suit a military unit at all and even contradict military charters. Such methods would be more suitable for an ultra-modern, super-progressive IT team that practices Scrum.
Catherine, a former director of a car factory who has long since retired, is invited to the role of CEO of an incredibly promising young IT company from Silicon Valley.

Why do residents of the USA usually speak very clearly, but not in the case of giving negative (in their opinion) feedback? How do the Dutch, communicating in the most open, for some excessively harsh form, remain close friends? How did it happen that the hierarchical Japanese created one of the most consensus-oriented societies in the world?
The book gives clear answers to such questions and explains how to build productive communication in cross-cultural teams.
Just reading these books is not enough. Too often we get acquainted with good, right things, but do not use them, remaining instead with the same unsolved problems.
The modern world pushes megatons of information at us, demanding immediate decision-making and leaving no time for analysis of what is happening. Therefore, we increasingly use our intuitive-instinctive system of making instant decisions and do not give a chance to our rational system of thinking, which requires much more time and energy to work. However, it is this system that makes us human.
