Publisher's summary

Has anyone called you naive for suggesting that businesses can do more good and make a positive impact on not just profits, but also on employees, consumers, and the world?

If so, you're in good company.

Increasingly more employees, customers, and business leaders agree that how and why money is made is equally as important as the amount of money made. That fear can be paralyzing, ultimately keeping them from sharing and acting on their biggest and best ideas.

When we screen ourselves to present only what's accepted as realistic within the mainstream, we eliminate the option for positive transformation. So how do you take informed, impactful action and lead your business to be a force for good, considering the rapidly changing workforce and evolving consumer expectations? You dare to be naive.

While most people think being naive is a bad thing (especially in business), an intentional, chosen naivete leads to better business and a more fulfilled life. Through listening to Dare to Be Naive, you'll learn how to generate two types of ROI a positive Return on Investment AND profound Ripples of Impact as well as: The reason we fear being seen as naive and how to question that fear and harness the positive attributes of chosen naivete: curiosity, trust, authenticity, and optimism. Why doing good in business is actually good for business via real-world examples of evolving, tremendously successful business practices that some might call naive. A simple framework that enhances your critical thinking, promotes a growth mindset, facilitates deep reflection, and fosters intentional leadership. Practical exercises to help you put your new ideas and beliefs into action with a renewed passion and excitement for seeing the good in people and business. And much, much more.

Equipped with this knowledge, you'll have everything you need to use your influence for good to cultivate a better world.

Must read

If you’ve had that nagging feeling you need to do more with your life, this book is the nudge you need. The author also does a great job narrating.

Unique and refreshing perspective on life and business!

A really unique and refreshing take on how to make business and life decisions. The author uses many stories of leaders who cut against the grain of what seems realistic or practical in business, and were successful because of it. It opened my eyes to several different ways of thinking in a wide variety of areas including trusting employees and vendors, as well as focusing on impact over profits. I was also glad I listened to the audiobook as you can feel the author’s passion and belief in the ideas in his book. Highly recommend to all business leaders and aspiring entrepreneurs!
