This was a great book. I feel it can apply in my life now, but would have even more so when I was in my corporate world! Great insights on how to be the innovator, stay fresh, don't lose yourself while continuing to grow. The the biggest nugget for me was the Brainstorm chapter! (Peoplestorming in particular!) I had forgotten over the years how effective and important brainstorming can be and feel encouraged that adding it back to my life will help me breakthrough a few ruts!
