Pioneers Wanted: A Manifesto for Radically Ambitious Leadership

Chapter 1: Expect Greatness

Pioneers see things differently. They approach life with an attitude of expectation, knowing that they are the key ingredient that impacts their own environments. They aren’t victims, and they refuse to become a replication of the status quo. Instead, they believe in greatness. When the world doesn’t align with their vision, they change the world. Often, parents, schooling, and childhood environments instill this expectancy into the pioneer at an early age, and they carry it with them through adulthood. But, as other pioneers have shown us, anyone can adopt this outlook and think like a pioneer.
