The Book


You've been taught all your life to strive to make a difference.

You've joined a company with the desire to bring new ideas and innovation to life. Maybe you were even hired to "change the culture," or promised a "culture of innovation."

But you push ahead and find yourself pushed out the door just for doing what you felt was best for the company or the customer.

You are not alone.
