"The stories of the world's great entrepreneurs have been told--but not necessarily their innovative ideas and business philosophies. In fact many entrepreneurs are extremely intuitive, and action-oriented and not always able to clearly articulate the underlying ideas and principles behind their own disruptive innovations. This book explains the most important ideas of 20 of the world great entrepreneurs, including Steve Jobs, Carlos Ghosn, Sergey Brin, Brian Chesky, and others. The disruptive ideas fall into categories of leadership, innovation, social responsibility, brand and culture. For each of these themes, the author explains 1) the most important innovative ideas that made the entrepreneur's company billions of dollars; 2) how their innovation and ideas influenced the business world in general; and 3) how the average business wner, leader or manager can implement these disruptive ideas in their own organizations"--,Provided by publisher.
