A USA Today Bestseller. A dramatic new future of work in which managers assemble exactly the expertise they need within minutes. 'If you ve ever wished you could assemble your version of The Avengers at work, this book will help you make it happen.' Adam Grant, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of Think Again and host of the podcast Re:Thinking. Gone are the days of static organizational charts and staffing based on the manager s rolodex and intuition. Now you can recruit any expertise you need from a global online network within minutes: an on-demand, on-the-spot expert at the exact moment that you need their help. You can right-size their involvement, too; some of those experts give a second opinion or a moment of brainstorming, whereas others join as full-fledged team members for a sustained collaborative effort. This is the future promised by flash teams, a model that The New York Times has already praised for its 'revolutionary potential': a world where experts are available anytime and everywhere, where remote work has become a norm, and where AI is in the loop to guide team decisions. In Flash Teams, award-winning management scholar Melissa Valentine and computer scientist Michael Bernstein chart the opportunities of flash teams and navigate the challenges that teams and managers will face. They distill lessons from their own work assembling and managing flash teams on demand that every manager can learn from so they can successfully use flash teams in their own organizations. Drawing on original research and industry examples, this book will help readers to: Recognize and source needed expertise within minutes. Anticipate and plan team designs with AI. Redesign team structures on the fly as projects evolve. Industries are already being transformed by this new approach to teaming. Flash Teams arms leaders, managers, and entrepreneurs with the tools they need to accomplish their goals with confidence, speed, and agility.

A “poignant, painful, and gorgeous” memoir that explores siblinghood, adolescence, and grief for a family shattered by loss (Alicia Garza, cocreator, Black Lives Matter).Melissa and her older brother Junior grow up running around the disparate neighborhoods of 1990s Oakland, two of six children to a white Quaker father and a black Southern mother. But as Junior approaches adolescence, a bullying incident and later a violent attack in school leave him searching for power and a sense of self in all the wrong places; he develops a hard front and falls into drug dealing. Right before Junior’s twentieth birthday, the family is torn apart when he is murdered as a result of gun violence.The Names of All the Flowers connects one tragic death to a collective grief for all black people who die too young. A lyrical recounting of a life lost, Melissa Valentine’s debut memoir is an intimate portrait of a family fractured by the school-to-prison pipeline and an enduring love letter to an adored older brother. It is a call for justice amid endless cycles of violence, grief, and trauma, declaring: “We are all witness and therefore no one is spared from this loss.”“A portrait of a place, a person who died too young, the systems that led to that death, and the keen insights of the author herself. Lyrical and smart, with appropriate undercurrents of rage.” —Emily Raboteau, author of Searching for Zion“Eloquently poignant.” —Kirkus Reviews
