With that in mind, there’s little point trying to be marginally better than your competitors who are probably locked into the same battles as you are for a declining market. To stand out today, you’ve got to become known for something special – something radical yet practical. The big money today comes when you embrace one-of-a-kind thinking in a me-too world.
As counterintuitive and paradoxical as it may sound, today’s recession hit markets are the perfect opportunity to transform your company, shake up your industry and challenge yourself to move to a higher level of performance. Instead of downsizing your dreams, change the game to your advantage and get noticed by embracing one-of-a-kind ideas. Don’t merely try and win the game you find – become a game changer by thinking differently and thinking big. Do this and you will not only separate yourself from the pack you’ll also build sustainable competitive advantages which last for years to come.

Summary of Practically Radical (William C. Taylor)
1. Transform your company
How do you generate more energy and creativity from your people and make their ideas happen?
There can be no doubt we live in an age of disruption. The world at large is evolving so rapidly today doing things just a little differently from the way you did them in the past won’t cut it any more. To make decent gains in any field, you’ve got to be prepared to make big changes work and to redefine the terms of competition.
To join today’s best leaders, you need to demonstrate your capacity for “vuja de.” What is it?
You experience deja vu when you look at an unfamiliar situation and feel like you’ve seen it before. Vuja de is the flip side of that. You look at a familiar situation – an industry you’ve worked in for generations or a product you’ve worked on for years – with fresh eyes or a fresh perspective and then develop your own unique and distinctive view of the future. To transform your company, you’ve got to look at your organization and your line of business as if you’re seeing them for the first time and then build for the future. Often when you do this, you end up coming up with a game plan which is some kind of variation of “back-to-the-future.”
