The Alliance: The New Employer/Employee Relationship
The world of work has changed. Few, if any employees expect to spend their entire career at one company. And yet, we still expect them to pretend otherwise. It’s time to get honest with each other, and stop thinking of employees as family or free agents, and start thinking of them as allies on a tour of duty.
In this wide-ranging talk, I explain why the current employer-employee relationship is broken, and how, paradoxically, admitting this truth and being honest with employees builds greater loyalty and longer job tenure. Audiences learn both general frameworks and specific techniques to recruit, manage, and retain entrepreneurial employees.

“Blitzscaling: The Lightning-Fast Path to Building Massively Valuable Companies” (2018)
Foreword by Bill GatesLinkedIn cofounder, legendary investor, and host of the award-winning Masters of Scale podcast reveals the secret to starting and scaling massively valuable companies.What entrepreneur or founder doesn’t aspire to build the next Amazon, Facebook, or Airbnb? Yet those who actually manage to do so are exceedingly rare. So what separates the startups that get disrupted and disappear from the ones who grow to become global giants?The secret is blitzscaling: a set of techniques for scaling up at a dizzying pace that blows competitors out of the water. The objective of Blitzscaling is not to go from zero to one, but from one to one billion –as quickly as possible.When growing at a breakneck pace, getting to next level requires very different strategies from those that got you to where you are today. In a book inspired by their popular class at Stanford Business School, Hoffman and Yeh reveal how to navigate the necessary shifts and weather the unique challenges that arise at each stage of a company’s life cycle, such as: how to design business models for igniting and sustaining relentless growth; strategies for hiring and managing; how the role of the founder and company culture must evolve as the business matures, and more. Whether your business has ten employees or ten thousand, Blitzscaling is the essential playbook for winning in a world where speed is the only competitive advantage that matters.
