Habit 6 – Be A Maverick

what a maverick is, and why it’s more important than ever today to have maverick characteristics to build a life that is innovative, unique, inspirational and useful to the world.

“Creativity is about connecting things.  When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something.”  

– Steve Jobs

In this chapter we look at being a maverick, what a maverick is, and why it’s more important than ever today to have maverick characteristics to build a life that is innovative, unique, inspirational and useful to the world.

This is one of my favourite chapters and covers people such as Richard Branson, Elon Musk and Steve Jobs.

There are seven defining characteristics of a maverick and this chapter breaks it down and explores how to cultivate a maverick approach in the workplace.
