Description
What do an astronaut, a Navy SEAL, the cofounder of Method, the former VP of communications at Apple, and the president of Domino’s all have in common? Ryan Berman spent three years shadowing the most courageous people and leaders on the planet to find out what they have done to accomplish liberating personal or business feats.
Fifty-two percent of Fortune 500 companies from the year 2000 are now extinct, and 80 percent of all start-ups will fail within their first 18 months. Yet there’s a lack of urgency to address this callous reality across the board in most organizations. And the solution can be unlocked with courage.
Return on Courage (ROC) is the go-to courage instructional manual that helps readers attack and shrink business fears head-on. They will learn how to relentlessly play offense, drive change, and transform into a Courage Brand®. ROC can be the secret weapon to innovating new products and services, maximizing ROI, and revolutionizing their industry.

If courage is the accelerator , then risk is the brake pedal - this is a great metaphor and this is what the book is about. It is full of business examples and experiences shared. I think the book is a very good motivation for anyone from a corporate environment to a start up world. Indeed it is important to have more courage to build your own business, to establish and grow a brand or to recover an existing and running business from a down time. I like this quote: " Courage is for your direct manager who may be suffering from symptoms of indecisiveness. " You are your own manager and internal courage is your personal coach, mentor, motivator and manager. I would recommend this book for anyone looking for motivation to get back on track or to start own journey in the world of business.
