Do you want to follow a script — or write your own story?
Rebels are also those among us who change the world for the better with their unconventional outlooks. Instead of clinging to what is safe and familiar, and falling back on routines and tradition, rebels defy the status quo. They are masters of innovation and reinvention, and they have a lot to teach us.
Francesca Gino, a behavioral scientist and professor at Harvard Business School, has spent more than a decade studying rebels at organizations around the world, from high-end boutiques in Italy’s fashion capital, to the World’s Best Restaurant, to a thriving fast food chain, to an award-winning computer animation studio. In her work, she has identified leaders and employees who exemplify 'rebel talent,' and whose examples we can all learn to embrace.
Imbued with a spirit of nonconformity, Rebel Talent helps you effectively navigate an ever-changing, competitive world of work and develop dynamic business skills. It makes a case for the embrace of rebellion, both for success in the digital age and for a more personally fulfilling life.
Whether you are looking to inspire, lay the groundwork for a successful business, or foster positive relationships, Rebel Talent challenges you to redefine success – by breaking all the rules.
