In an age of hyper-competition and nonstop innovation, the only way to stand out is to be truly original. That's the lesson behind the companies and people in Mavericks at Work.

They are break-the-mold, innovative business units inside giants such as IBM, Procter & Gamble, HBO, and Pixar. From Internet banks to gold mines, fashion retailers to funky sandwich shops, they are creating an inspiring agenda that every business can utilize.Taylor, William C. is the author of 'Mavericks at Work Why the Most Original Minds in Business Win', published 2007 under ISBN 9780061232978 and ISBN 0061232971.
