Shift happens. It?s time for Plan D. Long gone are the good old days where a sudden market shift was tempered ? even held back ? by restrictive laws, huge capital requirements, complex data, industry secrets, distribution networks and expensive infrastructure. Goliath has lost his edge. Today, ?what?s next? is conceived by firebrand leaders who topple the once proud giants of established industries. You know, the crazy ones . . . the Disruptors. This book explores two questions about them: 1. What makes them special? (So we can do what they do and upend our competition as well.) 2. How do they think? (So we know how to manage them while getting the absolute best out of them.) This book is written about ? and for ? Disruptors. It crystallizes the Disruptor?s unique superhero powers so you can use them too (for good, not evil). The future belongs to the Disruptors. You need them, and they need you. This book will help you dream, drive and deliver like the crazy ones.

"Mike and the people he calls friends leave a big wake. This book will show you how they do it.--Marshall Goldsmith, Thinker50, #1 executive coach and only two-time #1 leadership thinker in the world
The assumptions we have been making about Disruptors are wrong. It isn't just courage (and a bit of luck) that make them successful again, and again, and again. Their strategies for repeated success are observable and learnable.
"This book is the bible for second...and third chances."
In Plan D, entrepreneurial anthropologist (and successful serial entrepreneur himself) Mike Maddock examines the often misunderstood "superhero powers" that allow the most successful leaders to create immediate and repeatable impact in the face of incredible obstacles. In this book, you will learn how they:
1) Turn problems into solutions
2) Use their demons to drive them to greatness
3) Use simple, repeatable frameworks to accelerate success
4) See and benefit from opportunities most of us miss
5) Think differently under pressure
"Mike Maddock is one of the most uniquely engaging thought leaders I know. His authentic style is captivating, and his ability to inspire using critical lessons from both startups and Fortune 100's is priceless. I'd recommend him to our CMO and our CFO because they would both love learning from him."--Robert A. McDonald, retired chairman and CEO of Procter & Gamble.
You are working on Plan A. You are thinking about Plan B. Now, it's time for Plan D, The book that will teach you how to dream, drive and deliver like the people who change the world.
