The Bold Ones: Innovate and Disrupt to Become Truly Indispensable

A practical and inspirational playbook that shows you how to use innovation and disruption to become truly unstoppable.

Disruption for disruption's sake isn't a smart strategy when you're seeking ways to accelerate your career and become truly indispensable. In The Bold Ones, you'll discover it's more about being "dangerous" than disruptive: being simultaneously bold enough to challenge industries, yet practical enough to recreate them.

Internationally celebrated disruption strategist Shawn Kanungo offers a playbook for individuals who know they need to become bolder to push their careers and companies forward -but don't know how to innovate: You'll learn where to start, what to do, and how to break through with your ideas. In ten chapters that present the ten pillars to becoming dangerous, you'll learn the secrets of innovation and human behavior-from recognizing that almost every innovation starts out with resistance to becoming a "deep generalist" (someone who can spot trends in adjacent industries and apply them to one's own core competencies).

Each pillar will help you learn exactly how to innovate, disrupt, and use your skills right where you are, today, and put your ideas into play. You'll also discover replicable tactics of some of the world's greatest (and sometimes unlikely) change agents, such as Bill Simmons, Steph Curry, Hatshepsut, Elon Musk, Cardi B., including:

• Unlock Disruption with Your Hidden Ideas
• How Past Innovation Stops Us from Future Disruption
• Look Outside to Recreate Within
• Pirating the Power of Institutions
• Build a Brand by Starting Small
