2014 Leader's Library Edition

Delegates at the 2014 Summit for Urban Animal Strategies in October were presented with the 7th annual Leader's Library book. 

Crazy Is a Compliment: The Power of Zigging When Everyone Else Zags, by Linda Rottenberg, October 2014

"If people aren't calling you crazy, you aren't thinking big enough."

These days taking chances isn’t just for college dropouts in hoodies. Whether you work at a Fortune 500 company, a nonprofit, or a mom-and-pop, everybody needs to think and act like an entrepreneur. We all need to be nimble, adaptive, daring—and maybe even a little crazy—or risk being left behind.

But how do you take smart risks without risking it all? That’s Linda Rottenberg’s expertise. As the cofounder and CEO of Endeavor, the world’s leading organization dedicated to supporting fast-growing entrepreneurs, she’s spent the last two decades helping innovators think bold and execute smart.

Urban Animal strives to break free of the industry silos and display collaboration, innovation and creative thought process. This 2014 edition to the Leader's Library shelf encourages advocates of Urban Animals worldwide to 

take chances and zig when everyone else is zagging.
