An excellent and inspiring read for all management and executive teams.
As well as offering insights into innovative companies like Pixar, Commerce Bank, Cirque de Soleil, Southwest Airlines, ING Direct, Cranium, Jones Soda, and more, the authors generously include 40 pages of resources and source materials which could keep the reader busy for weeks (it's a book that just keeps on giving and giving). If you need to take your company's competitive edge in a new direction, rise above the clutter, find new sources for business intelligence, and energize your workforce, this book shows you how Mavericks get it done.
I judge the value of a book by the amount of highlighting I've made, and there was plenty! It's a fast, easy read, too.
By the way - I'd recommend Bill Taylor as a speaker for your next executive conference. He's a great speaker (despite not using powerpoint). I heard him at branding conference in Oct 06 and was so inspired I bought and read his book that same day...and passed a copy to our CEO. |

This was a wonderful book! It was the most mind expanding book I've read in a very long time (and I've read hundreds of business books over the past decade or two). This may be the first amazon review that I've written but I really feel that this is a winner.
I particularly enjoyed Taylor and LaBarre's research around the work of Nine Sigma and InnoCentive in generating an "open source" approach to innovation (I haven't dug into their websites yet to do more research but I plan to). |

What good is a book full of insightful and exciting information if it's too boring and complicated to read? This book gets to the point and does it in an entertaining way. Awesome details on what makes great companies stand out in an overcrowded me-too, over-supplied world. Thank God for authors who not only want to make a great point but want to do it in a plain and easy to read manner. Best book I've read in years! |

This amazing book is the perfect primer for people who are looking past conventional wisdom and yearn to improve their organizations in bold new ways. From open-source innovation and advocacy-focused strategies, to redesigning work and reconnecting with the customer, the authors take you on a truly fascinating tour of the Mavericks who are advancing modern business practices in ways that are changing their industries. This is one of those rare books where you start writing notes on almost every page. |

If you are looking for inspiration, this book is great. As someone starting a small business, this book has been very helpful in verbalizing some of the ideas swirling around in my head, and has helped me form some new ones. I found it very enjoyable to read as well. |

I heard this author speak at a recent convention and the book gives the same flavor as if you were listening to him. Dynamic, with lots of humor and new ideas that are simple and easy to implement. Loved it !!! If you have the opportunity to hear him, do so. A breath of fresh perspective. |
