All I know for sure is that I pursued a conscious strategy of managing my opportunities in a way that would make it easier for luck to find me. "

More than a decade ago, Clayton Christensen's breakthrough book The Innovator's Dilemma illustrated how disruptive innovations drive industry transformation and market creation. Christensen's research demonstrated how growth-seeking incumbents must develop the capability to deflect disruptive attacks and seize disruptive opportunities. In The Innovator's Guide to Growth, Scott Anthony, Mark Johnson, Joseph Sinfield, and Elizabeth Altman take the subject to the next level: implementation. The authors explain how to create this crucial capability for unlocking disruption's transformational power. With a foreword by Christensen, this book provides a set of market-proven tools and approaches to innovation that have been honed through fieldwork with innovative companies like Procter & Gamble, Johnson & Johnson, Pepsi, Intel, Motorola, SAP, and Cisco Systems.The book shows you how to: Follow a market-proven process -- so your company can reliably create blockbuster businesses Create structures, systems, and metrics -- so the disruptive innovations that will power your firm's future growth receive the funding and personnel needed to succeed Create a common language of disruptive innovation -- so managers can reach consensus around counterintuitive courses of action Incisive and practical, this book helps your company take the steps necessary to benefit from disruption -- instead of being eclipsed by it.

"The cartoon hero of the workplace" --San Francisco ExaminerDilbert is the cubicle-bound star of the most photocopied, pinned-up, downloaded, faxed, and e-mailed comic strip in the world. As fresh a look at the inanity of office life as it brought to the comics pages when it first appeared in 1989, this new Dilbert collection comically confirms to the working public that we all really know what's going on. Our devices might be more sophisticated, our software and apps might be more plentiful, but when it gets down to interactions between the worker bees and the clueless in-controls, discontent and sarcasm rule, as only Dilbert can proclaim

From the creator of Dilbert, an unflinching look at the strategies Donald Trump used to persuade voters to elect the most unconventional candidate in the history of the presidency, and how anyone can learn his methods for succeeding against long odds.Scott Adamsa trained hypnotist and a lifelong student of persuasionwas one of the earliest public figures to predict Trumps win, doing so a week after Nate Silver put Trumps odds at 2 percent in his FiveThirtyEight.com blog. The mainstream media regarded Trump as a novelty and a sideshow. But Adams recognized in Trump a level of persuasion you only see once in a generation.Trump triggered massive cognitive dissonance and confirmation bias on both the left and the right. Were hardwired to respond to emotion, not reason. We might listen to 10 percent of a speecha hand gesture here, a phrase thereand if the right buttons are pushed, we irrationally agree with the speaker and invent reasons to justify that decision after the fact.The point isnt whether Trump was right or wrong, good or bad. Win Bigly goes beyond politics to look at persuasion tools that can work in any settingthe same ones Adams saw in Steve Jobs when he invested in Apple decades ago. For instance:· If you need to convince people that something is important, make a claim thats directionally accurate but has a big exaggeration in it. Everyone will spend endless hours talking about how wrong it is while accidentally persuading themselves the issue is a high priority.· Stop wasting time on elaborate presentations. Inside, youll learn which components of your messaging matter, and where you can wing it.· Creating linguistic kill shots with persuasion engineering (such as Low-energy Jeb) can be more powerful than facts and policies.Adams offers nothing less than access to the admin passwords to human beings. This is a must-read if you care about persuading others in any fieldor if you just want to resist persuasion from others.
