What’s in it for me? Learn from history’s disruptors.

In a world ruled by convention, there are those who dare to think differently and leave an indelible mark on their domain: the disruptors.

Disruptors have a burning need to create and innovate, and a willingness to challenge the norms. They recognize that taking risks is a fundamental part of success. They’re not afraid to venture off the beaten track and execute ideas that defy conventional wisdom. And they believe that it’s people, not organizations, who truly drive change.

Are you ready to take on these bold traits and shake things up yourself? This Blink will show you how.

Disruptors are diverse, but they share similar traits

Disruptors. Those persistent, inventive, maverick individuals who upend companies, industries, and countries. They can be controversial, they can be vilified, and they can be worshiped. Steve Jobs, Frida Kahlo, Steph Curry, Margaret Thatcher, Julius Caesar, and Rosa Parks all count among their numbers.

You might love them. You might hate them. But one thing’s for sure: you can’t write history without naming them.

Let’s call them the Bold Ones. These individuals come from diverse backgrounds and achieve disparate aims. But there are a few things they all have in common. And studying what unifies them creates a powerful blueprint for success. Here are the four most salient characteristics shared by disruptors throughout history.

First, they possess an innovative drive. The hallmark of bold disruptors is an insatiable desire to innovate. They’re driven by an unwavering passion to create, pushing the boundaries of conventional thinking.

Second, they embrace risk-taking. Bold Ones see risk as a fundamental element of their journey. They perceive the world through a different lens and execute their ideas with audacious courage. They understand that groundbreaking innovations are a high-risk, high-reward proposition.

Third, they embody individuality. Loyalty to a company isn’t their compass; they’re guided by their individual drives. Disruptors know that people, not organizations, are the true catalysts for change. It's not brands that alter history; it's the individuals behind them.

Fourth, they facilitate strategic collaboration. While they’re fiercely independent, Bold Ones recognize the power of collaboration. They leverage the resources and clout of corporations when necessary to achieve their unique goals. They’re strategic in their partnerships, ensuring they align with their vision.

In the current landscape, individuals are the drivers of change. To join their ranks, you’ll need to emulate the qualities of the Bold Ones. And you’ll need one more thing, too: your own desire. Don’t try and squash your drive to do things differently – let it power you on your journey to join the ranks of the Bold Ones.

Success is a barrier to innovation

What does disruption look like? Well, it’s when the rules everyone lives by suddenly seem like they don’t apply anymore. If you’re not among the Bold Ones, you just won’t see it coming. You might even dismiss it.

That’s just what two radio DJs, Ebro and Rosenberg, did in 2016, when they invited an Instagram-famous rapper who no one took very seriously onto their show. The rapper in question was Cardi B. The DJs peppered Cardi with inappropriate questions about her cosmetic surgeries and her former career as a stripper. They dismissively said her rapping “needed work.”

For mass appeal, focus on gaining a cult following

Ever heard of Ching Shih? If you haven’t, now’s the time. She was the most successful pirate – economically and culturally – of all time. Born in 1775 in China’s Guangdong province, she married the notorious pirate Zheng Yi, leader of the Red Flag Fleet, as a young girl. Ching Shih influenced her husband to bring other local pirates to a roundtable negotiating session, where they divided up territories and future fortunes in a mutually beneficial way. After her husband’s death, Ching Shih not only took over his role as commander of this loose confederation of pirates, she actually significantly expanded his empire. At the height of her powers, she commanded roughly 1,800 large vessels and 80,000 men.

Pirates aren’t organized. Typically, they sneer at concepts like hierarchy and rank. It took a newbie like Ching Shih to realize that imposing systems on this free-for-all would decrease bloodshed and increase profit. But in order to achieve this, she needed to bring the rest of the pirating world with her. She needed a cult following. Once she had that, she could do anything.

Disruption is a laughing matter

In 1995, Bill Gates went on the David Letterman show to explain a novel technological concept: the internet. The internet, Gates noted, had a lot of different potential functions. It might, for example, help you broadcast a baseball game. Letterman snickered – hadn’t Gates ever heard of the radio? The audience laughed. But Gates pressed on. Thanks to the internet, he said, you wouldn’t need to tune in live. You could listen to that baseball game whenever you wanted. Letterman ridiculed Gates again – perhaps Gates hadn’t ever heard of something called a tape recorder? Cue more laughter from the audience and the late night host.

Fast forward to today. Who’s laughing now?

Anyone, anywhere can be a Bold One

Hatshepsut should have been a footnote in history. In Egypt, in 1479 BCE, the pharaoh Thutmose II died. His son, Thutmose III was too young to ascend to the throne. So Hatshepsut, the half-sister of Thutmose II, stepped in.

So far, so conventional. In Egypt at that time, noblewomen often stepped in to act as regent, papering over any gaps in the line of succession. But Hatshepsut wasn’t content to settle for a caretaker role. She changed the rules of the game. She propagated stories that she’d been chosen by the gods to rule Egypt. And though she didn’t declare herself pharaoh until seven years after Thutmose II’s death, she rewrote history on official sculptures and hieroglyphics – backdating her ascension to the day that Thutmose II died. As pharaoh, she led her country through a period of unprecedented peace, expanded trade with Africa and the Middle East, and ordered the construction of some of the era’s greatest monuments.

Ich bin begeistert. Ich liebe Bücher aber durch zwei kleine Kinder komme ich einfach nicht zum Lesen. Und ja, viele Bücher haben viel bla bla und die Quintessenz ist eigentlich ein Bruchteil.

Genau dafür ist Blinkist total genial! Es wird auf das Wesentliche reduziert, die Blinks sind gut verständlich, gut zusammengefasst und auch hörbar! Das ist super. 80 Euro für ein ganzes Jahr klingt viel, aber dafür unbegrenzt Zugriff auf 3000 Bücher. Und dieses Wissen und die Zeitersparnis ist unbezahlbar.

Extrem empfehlenswert. Statt sinnlos im Facebook zu scrollen höre ich jetzt täglich zwischen 3-4 "Bücher". Bei manchen wird schnelle klar, dass der Kauf unnötig ist, da schon das wichtigste zusammen gefasst wurde..bei anderen macht es Lust doch das Buch selbständig zu lesen. Wirklich toll

Nils S.

Einer der besten, bequemsten und sinnvollsten Apps die auf ein Handy gehören. Jeden morgen 15-20 Minuten für die eigene Weiterbildung/Entwicklung oder Wissen.

Julia P.

Viele tolle Bücher, auf deren Kernaussagen reduziert- präzise und ansprechend zusammengefasst. Endlich habe ich das Gefühl, Zeit für Bücher zu finden, für die ich sonst keine Zeit habe.
