About this audiobook
For decades we have witnessed the power of entrepreneurs to transform industries, societies, and global economies. More recently, we have seen social entrepreneurs apply that same creativity and dynamism to schools and nonprofits. Today, when corporate security is history, job mobility is at an all-time high, and technology is cutting us loose, we are on the cusp of a new phenomenon. A new generation of life entrepreneurs is emerging who apply their vision, talents, creativity, and energy not only to their work but to their entire liveschanging the world for themselves and those around them. In Life Entrepreneurs: Mavericks in the Art of Living, Christopher Gergen and Gregg Vanourek (both successful entrepreneurs) describe the convergence between organizational and life entrepreneurship. At that nexus, organizations transform themselves into engines of productivity and incubators of imaginative new products and business lines, while people transform their lives from mediocre to extraordinary ones. Entrepreneurial leaders make these connections. Drawing on numerous interviews and surveys and the wisdom of multiple thought leaders (including a foreword by Warren Bennis), the authors provide a tour de force of vivid examples, moving vignettes, concrete frameworks, and practical strategies for revving up our work and play through entrepreneurial leadership. Part inspiration and part road map, it is a clarion call for those of us so busy, overworked, or stressed that, even if successful by conventional measures, we feel half asleep and out of step with our dreams. If youre wondering about launching a new business, making a big career change, reawakening your aspirations, or recharging your leadership batteries, this is a high-energy kick in the pants to start it up.
