VIRTUAL – Tapping the Primal Drive that Powers the World’s Most Successful People: Marco Greenberg
Description
Over the last two decades, Marco Greenberg has worked closely with some of the world’s most driven founders and CEOs advising them on issues that affect their bottom line. He found a common thread that connects them all—primitiveness.
“Primitiveness is a quality inherent in all of us, no matter our gender, race, ethnicity or job status — from employees in large corporations to entrepreneurs putting out a shingle. Our primitive qualities allow us to be creative, intuitive, courageous and relentless in pursuit of our goals,” he wrote on Entrepreneur.com recently.
Working with visionaries across a range of industries, Greenberg captured this common thread in Primitive: Tapping the Primal Drive that Powers the World’s Most Successful People (Hachette, April 2020).
Greenberg says the key is to go ROAMING: to be Relentless in pursuing the biggest goals; to have the courage to be Oppositional; and to choose an Agnostic approach rather than specialize. To adopt a Messianic spirit, so your work becomes not just a job but a true calling; to embrace the advantages of being Insecure; and to reap the benefits of sometimes acting a little Nuts; and finally, to realize that being Gallant and noble in following one’s passions delivers the ultimate rewards.
“Marco Greenberg’s Primitive captures insights and advice that everyone can use to thrive in the constantly evolving workplace,” observed best-selling author Daniel Pink.
