Now that the Internet has liberated ideas to spread through networks instead of hierarchies, power is no longer determined by your status, but by \"onlyness\"--that spot in the world only you stand in, a function of your distinct history and experiences, visions and hopes. If you build upon your signature ingredient of purpose and connect with those who are equally passionate, you have a lever by which to move the world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis new ability is already within your grasp, but to command it, you need to know how to meaningfully mobilize others around your ideas. Through inspirational and instructive stories, Merchant reveals proven strategies to unleash the centrifugal force of a new idea, no matter how weird or wild it may seem. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eImagine how much better the world could be if every idea could have its shot, not just the ones that come from expected people and places. Which long-intractable problems would we solve, what new levels of creativity would be unlocked, and who might innovate a breakthrough that could benefit ourselves, our communities, and especially our economy. This limitless potential of onlyness has already been recognized by Thinkers 50, the Oscars of management, which cited it one of the five ideas that will shape business for next twenty years. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhy do some individuals make scalable impact with their ideas, regardless of their power or status? \u003ci\u003eThe Power of Onlyness\u003c\/i\u003e unravels this mystery for the first time so that anyone can make a dent.
