Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Visionary Brand In my new book, The Visionary Brand, I explore how brands become Visionary, and how they sustain this success for generations. Through both my direct experience with these brands, along with extensive research, I have been able to define the formula for realizing Visionary status. Although I have found no "one" brand is truly the ultimate Visionary, many are close, and you discover why these great brands are missing one or many ingredients to becoming truly Visionary. What makes a brand truly Visionary? Product, Innovation, Culture, Marketing? It is a harmonious blending of product, marketing, and passionate culture. Along with a visionary who establishes and commits themselves and the brand to ageless foundational principles. What formula has sustained iconic brands such as; Apple, Nike, Adidas, and allowed them to maintain their vision and brand ETHOS for generations? How does one brand lose its premium status, while others thrive from generation to generation? The Visionary Brand explores the core of these generational companies, and how they have evolved to become visionaries. This definitive guide to preserving authentic success through identifying, protecting, and nurturing the brand's core foundational principles will be a timeless leadership resource. Both professionally and personally, serving a purpose from start-up through established category leaders. Most brands at some point lose sight of their vision or have not established their brand core ETHOS. The Visionary Brand will revitalize those who are not yet evangelizing their brand's values and principles, along with guiding those who have yet to define their foundation. To succeed, you must understand who you are, what value you are providing, where you are positioning, and how to engage with your loyal community and brand team. From aspirational, real-life scenarios, to inspirational guidance, The Visionary Brand will provide ongoing support to successfully drive your brand forward. The Visionary Brand outlines the independent elements to emulating and successfully executing this foundational strategy. * Define your vision and build a Foundational Principles platform. * Stick to your vision while capturing global market share from your competitors. * Create a continuous Pipeline of Innovation. * Establish a Culture of Passionate followers. * Engage, and build Loyalty. * Embrace the changing tide of the new age adoption curve. * Be an Artist, be yourself, and instill the courage to accomplish your Vision. There may be Visionary brands, but no one company exists as The Visionary Brand, while some have most, none have all. I sincerely hope you enjoy the book and find its content useful in your Journey to becoming Visionary! Sincerely, Bryan Smeltzer, Author, The Visionary Brand

Download or read book Smart Growth written by Whitney Johnson and published by Harvard Business Press. This book was released on 2022-01-11 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Wall Street Journal bestseller Named one of 10 Best New Management Books for 2022 by Thinkers50 Creating a culture of learning and growth. Growth is the goal. Helping people develop their potential—enabling them to articulate and become the self they want to be, are capable of being, and that best serves them and others in the short and long term—is what we as individuals and leaders strive toward. But how do we grow? It turns out it happens in a predictable way, which means we can understand where we are in our growth and chart a way forward. In this compact, complete guide, Whitney Johnson dives more deeply than ever into the S Curve of Learning so that you can envision how growth happens and direct yourself and others in your organization to create a culture that fosters it. The growth and learning journey comes in three phases: the Launch Point, the Sweet Spot, and Mastery. Compelling examples of successful people will show you when and why growth is slow, how to keep going, what to do when growth and learning are almost too fast to keep up with, and how to leap from one growth journey to another. As individuals grow, so do organizations and societies. Growth is learning put into action—action that betters the world as we better ourselves and our small niches, both personal and professional, within it. Growth occurs when learning is internalized—when we try something new and invest the effort to move it from being something we do to something we are.
