<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"The same learning curve model that helps you "Build an A Team" can be used to build yourself into the person you want to be. In Disrupt Yourself, Johnson shows us what this curve looks like and how to ride it. She lays out seven strategies for successfully riding the wave of personal disruption: take the right risks; play to your distinctive strengths; embrace constraint; battle entitlement; step back to grow. Give failure its due; be discovery driven. Each chapter takes each strategy in turn, guiding the reader through understanding the strategy and then helping the reader to apply it effectively"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>High-growth organizations need high-growth individuals</b></p><p>Startups, growth-stage companies, and private equity-backed companies all have one thing in common: They need high-growth individuals to execute high-growth plans. As a leader trying to achieve ambitious organizational goals, you need people who can do more than just keep up; you need people who can set the pace. You need high-growth individuals.</p><p><i>Disrupt Yourself</i> helps high-growth individuals--and those trying to attain this status--learn the tools and frameworks necessary to make changes that matter.

We are living in an era of accelerating disruption, and no one is immune. Johnson makes the compelling case that managing the S-curve waves of learning and mastery is a requisite skill for the future. If you want to be successful in unexpected ways and achieve your wildest goals, follow your own disruptive path. Dare to innovate. Do something astonishing.
