Bold Ones: Innovate and Disrupt to Become Truly Indispensable

A practical and inspirational playbook to understand the DNA of disruptors to become truly unstoppable—from a globally recognized disruption expert

For professionals seeking to accelerate their careers and become truly indispensable. Disrupting for disruption’s sake isn’t enough. In The Bold Ones, readers will discover it’s more about being “dangerous” than disruptive: to be simultaneously bold enough to challenge industries and practical enough to recreate them.

Internationally renowned disruption strategist Shawn Kanungo offers a playbook for creative professionals who know they need to become bolder to push their careers and companies forward—but don’t know how to innovate: where to start, what to do, or how to break through with their ideas. In ten chapters that present the ten pillars to becoming dangerous, they’ll discover 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 readers learn exactly how to innovate, disrupt, and use their skills right where they are, today, and put their ideas into play.
