Tony Fadell led the teams that created the iPod, iPhone and Nest Learning Thermostat and learned enough in 30+ years in Silicon Valley about leadership, design, startups, Apple, Google, decision-making, mentorship, devastating failure and unbelievable success to fill an encyclopedia.
So that’s what this book is. An advice encyclopedia. A mentor in a box.
Written for anyone who wants to grow at work—from young grads navigating their first jobs to CEOs deciding whether to sell their company—Build is full of personal stories, practical advice and fascinating insights into some of the most impactful products and people of the 20th century. The audiobook also includes a brief introduction written and read by Tony.
Each quick 5-20 page entry builds on the previous one, charting Tony’s personal journey from a product designer to a leader, from a startup founder to an executive to a mentor. Tony uses examples that are instantly captivating, like the process of building the very first iPod and iPhone. Every chapter is designed to help readers with a problem they’re facing right now—how to get funding for their startup, whether to quit their job or not, or just how to deal with the jerk in the next cubicle.
Tony forged his path to success alongside mentors like Steve Jobs and Bill Campbell, icons of Silicon Valley who succeeded time and time again. But Tony doesn’t follow the Silicon Valley credo that you have to reinvent everything from scratch to make something great. His advice is unorthodox because it’s old school. Because Tony’s learned that human nature doesn’t change. You don’t have to reinvent how you lead and manage—just what you make.
And Tony’s ready to help everyone make things worth making.

Well written and complete book about Fadell and his journey. Especially interesting to hear about the startup experiences and differences between Apple and Google lenses as well as the passion around the teams. Inspiring.

A great book about building products, teams, and companies. Written by an author who earned his stripes and deeply understands these areas as he experienced all of them first hand. Truly a must read for anyone who is involved in product development in any shape or form. ~Robert van Vugt

Bitvis anekdotiska teorier som mer säger något om Tony Fadell än det han påstår (tex hans teorier om assholes). Bitvis mycket intressant information om hur de jobbade i Apple, Google och Nest. Klart läsvärd om man är intresserad av produktutveckling.

6/5. Oppeja jotka jokaisen perustajan tai ylemmän toimihenkilön tulisi saada. Tony tarjoaa ne tiiviissä ja ajatuksia herättävässä paketissa. Lukija oli yksi parhaista ikinä.

Sotajuttuja teknologiafirmoista. Olen itse elänyt nämä ajat ja tehnyt töitä kilpailevissa yrityksissä. Vielä kiinnostavampaa toivottavasti nyt uransa alussa oleville. Suosittelen.
