Any Dumb-Ass Can Do It

“Garry Ridge is the embodiment of what it means to be a great CEO. That he took the time to write down how he learned to lead (with such humility, I might add) means that we all get to learn how to lead like him. And that can only be a good thing!” —Simon Sinek, New York Times Bestselling Author, The Infinite Game “It’s not every day that you come across a CEO who aims to be the dumbest person in the room. Garry Ridge’s take on leadership is as refreshing as it is rare.” —Adam Grant, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author, Think Again and Hidden Potential, and Host, WorkLife podcast “I absolutely loved this book. Garry Ridge wants you to know that being a great leader is simple. But simple, alas, doesn’t mean easy. Becoming a great leader means becoming a better person—more caring, curious, humble, and more fully dedicated to making things better … Garry delightfully conveys the accumulated stories and wisdom of decades of leadership practice.” —Amy C. Edmondson, Novartis Professor of Leadership, Harvard Business School, and Author, Right Kind of Wrong “With his characteristic storytelling flair (and occasionally irreverent humor), Garry Ridge distills decades of experience into a powerful, no-nonsense guide that challenges conventional leadership paradigms.
