Disrupt Yourself

Putting the Power of Disruptive Innovation to Work

De: Whitney Johnson

Narrado por: Cyndee Maxwell

Are you a high potential charting your course within your current organization, a leader trying to jump-start innovative thinking in your company? Or are you ready to do something new? Consider this simple yet powerful idea: disruptive companies and ideas upend markets by doing something truly different - they see a need, an empty space waiting to be filled, and they dare to create something for which a market may not yet exist.

An expert in driving innovation via personal disruption, Whitney Johnson will help you understand how the frameworks of disruptive innovation can apply to you: If you want to be successful in unexpected ways, follow your own disruptive path. Dare to innovate. Dream big dreams. Do something astonishing. Disrupt yourself.

In this audiobook you will learn how to apply these frameworks to building a business, a career - and you. We are living in an era of accelerating disruption - those who can manage the S-curve waves of learning and maxing out will have a competitive advantage. But this is a skill set that needs to be learned. Disrupt Yourself will help people cope with the unpredictability of disruption and use it to their competitive advantage.

Reseñas de la Crítica

" Disrupt Yourself reads like a handbook for innovation: It shows the incredible value of recognizing what you are good at and finding unexpected ways to apply those strengths to the marketplace. The dramatic 'jumps' that Johnson encourages us to take truly form the basis of creativity and success." (Steve Wozniak, cofounder, Apple, Inc., and chief scientist, Primary Data)

So helpful to those considering career disruption

So thankful that I read this book. I have already started the process of a major career disruption and live daily with defending my decision to all who know me. Hearing the author's words and examples of those who have successfully come through their disruption helps me to feel understood, supported, and more positive about my future. Thank you, Whitney.

Meaningful content

I don’t often listen to non-fiction. Generally when I turn to books, I’m looking for escapism. But my life has led me to some unexpected places and this book felt like it was aimed at me. I love the useful and realistic approach to making change and growth. I want to start it over again immediately.

Very disruptive and thus helpful!

The concept of the S curve and how it affects our personal and work life is fascinating. Well worth a listen!

It's ok

Nothing new, but not a bad primer. The advantage of this book is that it's a fast read and gets one thinking about personal innovation.
But it's pretty generic and the narrator sounds computer generated.

Another great book by Whitney Johnson!

Loved this book! I like this format better than the first book, with more of her own experiences. My only "complaint" is that it wasn't longer! Great job.
