It reveals how established companies and institutions, from IBM to Intuit to the U.S. Government, are also learning how to incorporate starfish principles to achieve success.Find out:

• How the Apaches fended off the powerful Spanish army for 200 years
• The power of a simple circle
• The importance of catalysts who have an uncanny ability to bring people together
• How the Internet has become a breeding ground for leaderless organizations
• How Alcoholics Anonymous has reached untold millions with only a shared ideology and without a leader

The Starfish and the Spider is the rare book that will change the way you understand the world around you. In addition, it has some keen insights for the church expanding organically and in a decentralized fashion.
