Trillion Dollar Coach

The Leadership Playbook of Silicon Valley's Bill Campbell

The coaching principles behind Silicon Valley's most valuable mentor.

by Eric Schmidt, Jonathan Rosenberg, and Alan Eagle

The authors distill the leadership lessons of Bill Campbell, the executive coach who quietly guided leaders at Google, Apple, and beyond. They show how Campbell built winning teams by putting people first, building trust, and coaching candor and care simultaneously. The book is part tribute, part practical management manual.

Founders scale through the teams they build, not their own output. Campbell's playbook on coaching, building trust, and resolving conflict gives founders a model for becoming the kind of leader people do their best work for.
