"In straightforward and forceful prose, they outline the various ways organizations too often punish creative change and reward mediocrity. This is a courageous guide to creating the organization you say you want to have and being the change agent you say you want to be."

"I love the concepts in this fresh new book by Bill Jerome and Curt Powell. They are right on target when they say, ‘One of the biggest threats to a company may be its own traditions and complacency.' Whether you are at the top, bottom, or stuck in the middle, read this book for fresh hope that you can bring about change!"

"The Disposable Visionary offers hope to visionaries and sound guidance for organizations. Thoroughly enjoyable reading and thoroughly practical."

"The liability of success is a perennial challenge. Jerome and Powell's book contributes an intriguing finding: that the so-called ‘disposable visionaries' are more likely to be disposed of the more forcefully they promote what needs to be changed in a slowly failing company fixated on its past success. And for these disposable visionaries, the book offers the comfort that they are not alone, the encouragement to stick to their vision even if it means being fired, and the stories of others who have gone on to revolutionize industries and movements by forming their own organization or moving to other companies that appreciate their ideas."

"The Disposable Visionary will inspire those who passionately pursue innovative vision, but are cut down by the buzz saw of corporate politics. Bill and Curt's enjoyable yet practical insights will encourage corporate visionaries at all levels to stay the course and give others a passion for their cause."
