Landrum. In this case it is about thirteen iconoclastic individuals who have demonstrated a unique ability to deal with change in the world and redefine it for their own purposes. Landrum calls these individuals the change masters, entrepreneurial geniuses whose innovations have had a profound influence on modern society: Steven Jobs (Apple Computer), Fred Smith (Federal Express), Tom Monaghan (Domino's Pizza), Nolan Bushnell (Atari), William Gates I (Microsoft), Marcel Bich (Bic), Solomon Price (The Price Club), Howard Head (Head Ski), William Lear (Lear Jet), Soichiro Honda (Honda), Akio Morita (Sony), Arthur Jones (Nautilus), and Ted Turner (CN). Each of these business giants was motivated by what Landrum describes as an innovisionary personality, which drove them to follow a unique inner vision of success and gave them an inviolable belief in themselves. Profiles of Genius demonstrates, through thirteen dynamic examples, that future entrepreneurial success in a global marketplace will depend on technological innovation, adaptability to change, intelligent risk-taking, and competitive drive.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49630769709329,"sku":"GOR004388858","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50103429628177,"sku":"CIN0879758325G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51689457254673,"sku":"CIN0879758325VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52820493730065,"sku":"NLS9780879758325","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0879758325.jpg?v=1750747348"},{"product_id":"eight-keys-to-greatness-book-gene-n-landrum-9781573926867","title":"Eight Keys to Greatness","description":"What motivated a man trained in theology to uncover the theory of evolution? How did a shop owner's daughter become Prime Minister of a very chauvinistic nation? How did a man with a severe hearing problem invent the phonograph and the first sound movie camera? What prompted an 8th-grade dropout to unravel the technical mysteries of the catalytic engine? And why did somebody who could not write turn into one of the most prolific and successful authors of our time?Luck, personal attributes, freaky experiences, timing, and a myriad of other factors can contribute to reaching the very top. But Dr. Gene N. Landrum expertly argues that talent is not nearly as important as indomitable will, IQ is not as important as a positive attitude, an Ivy League education is not as important as an inquisitive and imaginative mind, and money is not important at all.The greats have eight key behavioral traits critical to their success. Eight Keys to Greatness selects six diverse disciplines and those who achieved within them-the arts (Agatha Christie and Ernest Hemingway); business (Bill Gates and Helena Rubinstein); humanities (Mother Teresa and Martin Luther King Jr.); politics (Catherine the Great and Mao Tse-tung); science (Albert Einstein and Marie Curie); and sports (Michael Jordan and Babe Didrickson Zaharias)-to show that charisma, competitiveness, confidence, drive, intuition, rebellion, risk-taking, and tenacity led these celebrities to the top.Landrum includes biographical commentary on twenty-eight other visionaries, including Darwin, Marx, Twain, Freud, Edison, Margaret Mead, Walt Disney, Stephen King, Ted Turner, and Anne Rice, to back his findings drawn from hundreds of biographies, autobiographies, and related research.Are you capable of greatness? Yes, Landrum says, as long as you have slightly above average ability to grasp new concepts and have the internal will to pursue your dreams. Eight Keys to Greatness inspires readers to learn by example.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49940675461393,"sku":"CIN1573926868G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51681280229649,"sku":"GOR003532820","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52821042626833,"sku":"NLS9781573926867","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":52825901007121,"sku":"CIN1573926868A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1573926868.jpg?v=1751446539"},{"product_id":"profiles-of-power-and-success-book-gene-n-landrum-9781573920520","title":"Profiles of Power and Success","description":"\"The Bell Curve is wrong,\" claims Gene Landrum. \"In fact, too much money, education or IQ is counterproductive to achievement.\" How do creativity and entrepreneurial genius emerge? Are they acquired or inherited? According to Profiles of Power and Success, nurture, not nature, is at the root of all great success in life, and the world's great power brokers and creative geniuses are bred, not born. This high-powered volume shows that energized creative geniuses are self-motivated and driven individuals who learned how to be great. Written with the self-help audience in mind, this book will motivate all who dare to reach for success and power in their own lives.  Landrum's examples of the highly talented concentrate on six distinctive outlets to realize individual creative potential: Artistic Power - Frank Lloyd Wright and Pablo Picasso; Business Power - Helena Rubinstein and Rupert Murdoch; Entertainment Power - Isadora Duncan, Walt Disney, and Edith Piaf; Humanistic Power - Marquise de Sade, Maria Montessori, and Amelia Earhart; Political Power - Napoleon and Adolf Hitler; Technical Power - Nikola Tesla and Howard Hughes.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50216695595281,"sku":"CIN1573920525G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50299230322961,"sku":"CIN1573920525VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52709878563089,"sku":"NLS9781573920520","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52778367123729,"sku":"NIN9781573920520","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1573920525.jpg?v=1763039091"},{"product_id":"paranoia-power-book-gene-n-landrum-9781600372742","title":"Paranoia \u0026 Power","description":"Landrum's 13th book is a self-help work on the inhibiting inner fears that either motivate or debilitate.

This book aims to help readers change from followers to leaders, offering insights into what it takes to become more innovative. Becoming innovative involves destroying the old ways of thinking-personally and professionally-and training the brain to summon its muse and therefore find the pathway to innovative thinking. This book is written with the understanding that studies show that 83% of people are Visual Learners, discerning by seeing an image. Most people go through life believing that the mind is cast in concrete. The reality is that it is cast in putty and is malleable. The Innovative Mind is thirty-three chapters of Innovative Solutions to help the reader on the path to becoming innovative.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52135198654737,"sku":"NLS9781600374548","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781600374548.jpg?v=1757547763"},{"product_id":"profiles-of-black-success-book-gene-n-landrum-9781573921190","title":"Profiles of Black Success","description":"Do blacks and nonblacks achieve success in the same way? Do cultural differences have an impact on success? Are there differences in the races when it comes to achievement? Does success have a color? Author Gene Landrum studied the lives of Maya Angelou, Shirley Chisholm, Bill Cosby, Berry Gordy, Michael Jackson, John Johnson, Michael Jordan, Reginald Lewis, Nelson Mandela, Thurgood Marshall, Colin Powell, Paul Robeson, and Oprah Winfrey, and found repeated patterns in their behavior. Yet, many of these were consistent with his findings on nonblacks. Greatness is greatness, he says. It is colorless. Although the behavior patterns of these thirteen superachievers are consistent with his findings on nonblacks, Landrum concludes the book with ten cultural differences in the ways blacks and nonblacks approach creativity and innovation. Among these cultural factors was the fact that these thirteen black subjects were far better educated than the white subjects. They preferred the performing arts over technological pursuits and were substantially more competitive, insecure, spiritual, political, and family-oriented than the nonblacks studied. Consistent with his findings on nonblacks, these thirteen visionaries tended to be average people with abnormal drives who were armed with an indomitable will and insatiable need to succeed.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52820261142801,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52820262256913,"sku":"NLS9781573921190","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781573921190.jpg?v=1764329631"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-gene-n-landrum.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
