A Wall Street Journal bestseller Named one of 10 Best New
Management Books for 2022 by Thinkers50 Creating a culture of
learning and growth. Growth is the goal. Helping people develop
their potential-enabling them to articulate and become the self
they want to be, are capable of being, and that best serves them
and others in the short and long term-is what we as individuals and
leaders strive toward. But how do we grow? It turns out it happens
in a predictable way, which means we can understand where we are in
our growth and chart a way forward. In this compact, complete
guide, Whitney Johnson dives more deeply than ever into the S Curve
of Learning so that you can envision how growth happens and direct
yourself and others in your organization to create a culture that
fosters it. The growth and learning journey comes in three phases:
the Launch Point, the Sweet Spot, and Mastery. Compelling examples
of successful people will show you when and why growth is slow, how
to keep going, what to do when growth and learning are almost too
fast to keep up with, and how to leap from one growth journey to
another. As individuals grow, so do organizations and societies.
Growth is learning put into action-action that betters the world as
we better ourselves and our small niches, both personal and
professional, within it. Growth occurs when learning is
internalized-when we try something new and invest the effort to
move it from being something we do to something we are.

Lead each person on your team up the learning curve. What's the
secret to having an engaged and productive team? It's having a plan
for developing all employees--no matter where they are on their
personal learning curves. Better morale and higher performance
happen through learning, argues Whitney Johnson. In over twenty
years of coaching, investing, and consulting, Johnson has seen that
employees need continuous learning and fresh challenges to stay
motivated. The best bosses know this, and they know how to make it
happen by thoughtfully designing people's jobs around the skills
they have today as well as the skills they'll need to be even more
valuable tomorrow. That's how entire organizations stay competitive
in an unpredictable, rapidly changing business environment. In this
book, Johnson explains how to become one of those bosses and how to
build your A-team by: Identifying what your employees already know
and what they need to learn Designing their jobs to maximize
engagement and learning Applying a seven-step process for leading
each person up their learning curve We all want opportunities to
learn, experiment, and grow in our jobs. When our bosses work with
us to help us leap to new challenges, the result is a team that
knows how to thrive, no matter what the future holds.

High-growth organizations need high-growth individuals Startups,
growth-stage companies, and private equity-backed companies all
have one thing in common: They need high-growth individuals to
execute high-growth plans. As a leader trying to achieve ambitious
organizational goals, you need people who can do more than just
keep up; you need people who can set the pace. You need high-growth
individuals. Disrupt Yourself helps high-growth individuals--and
those trying to attain this status--learn the tools and frameworks
necessary to make changes that matter. This book helps you
understand how these frameworks of disruptive innovation can apply
to your particular path, whether you are: A self-starter ready to
make a disruptive pivot in your business A high-potential
individual charting your career trajectory A manager looking to
instill innovative thinking within your team A leader facing
industry changes that make for an uncertain future Whitney Johnson
used the theory of disruptive innovation to invest in publicly
traded stocks and early-stage private companies, and now she
applies the framework to the personal and professional growth of
individuals. We are living in an era of accelerating disruption,
and no one is immune. Johnson makes the compelling case that
managing the S-curve waves of learning and mastery is a requisite
skill for the future. If you want to be successful in unexpected
ways and achieve your wildest goals, follow your own disruptive
path. Dare to innovate. Do something astonishing. Disrupt yourself.

Thinkers50 Management Thinker of 2015 Whitney Johnson has a goal:
to help us identify and achieve our dreams. Her belief is that we
can each achieve greater happiness when focusing both on our dreams
and on other people in our lives. In this inspiring book, Johnson
directs her attention to teaching women, in particular, a
three-step model for personal advancement and happiness. She first
encourages us to Dare to boldly step out, to consider disrupting
life as we know it. Then she teaches us how to Dream, to give life
to the many possibilities available, whether to start a business,
run a marathon, or travel the world. She shows us how to "date" our
dreams (no need to commit!) and how to make space for dreams.
Finally, Whitney's model brings out the businesswoman in her; she
teaches us to Do, to execute our dreams. She showcases the
importance of sharing dreams with others to give them life,
creating your own "dream team." Rich with real stories of women who
have dared to dream, Dare, Dream, Do offers a practical framework
for making remarkable things happen.
