Pink, bestselling author of A Whole New Mind In Practically Radical, William C. Taylor, the New York Times bestselling co-author of Mavericks at Work offers a refreshing, rigorous new look at pragmatic ways to shake things up and make positive change in difficult times.

Routine practices in one field can be revolutionary when they migrate to another. Are you the most of anything? In business today, the middle of the road is the road to ruin. Are you getting the best contributions from the most people? Change is not a game best played by loners. Anything but your typical business book, Practically Radical is a must-own for small business owners and CEOs, for managers at all levels, and innovators and entrepreneurs of every stripe.
