The Power of Onlyness: Make Your Wild Ideas Mighty Enough to Dent the WorldIf youre like most people, you wish you had the ability to make a difference, but you dont have the credentials, or a seat at the table, cant get past the gatekeepers, and arent high enough in any hierarchy to get your ideas heard. In The Power of Onlyness, Nilofer Merchant, one of the worlds top ranked business thinkers, reveals that, in fact, we have now reached an unprecedented moment of opportunity for your ideas to make a dent on the world. Now

If you’re like most people, you wish you had the ability to make a difference, but you don’t have the credentials, or a seat at the table, can’t get past the gatekeepers, and aren’t high enough in any hierarchy to get your ideas heard.

In The Power of Onlyness, Nilofer Merchant, one of the world’s top-ranked business thinkers, reveals that, in fact, we have now reached an unprecedented moment of opportunity for your ideas to “make a dent” on the world. 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. 

This 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. 

Imagine 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.

Why do some individuals make scalable impact with their ideas, regardless of their power or status? The Power of Onlyness unravels this mystery for the first time so that anyone can make a dent. Even you.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Nilofer Merchant is the co-founder of The Intangible Labs, defining the metrics for what creates value in the 21st century. She is also the creator of the Onlyness framework, which argues that each of us has value to add simply by standing in the world where only one stands. Instead of being the "only one" in a room that wants to stay the same (hi, corporate America!), it centers correctly on the source of value-creation.

You know her ideas already, even if you don't know her name. She's a bestselling author of three books, a TED mainstage speaker, and recipient of the “Future Thinker” Award from Thinkers 50. Her TEDtalk has been quoted over 400+million times in every major media outlet.

The 5 is the same as the 4 and a half. I used to write on ankther web site after I got each pair and I had good luck when i wore them. Saucony knows how to helo me. These boys, as i affectionately call them, are adorable. I have to wait til April but wanna start wearing them now. Couldnt ask for better. I am eternally grateful for the help Saucony gives me. I wouldn't be alive without my workouts and they know it. Thank you and I bless you. ❤️❤️❤️🕊️🕊️🕊️

Nice shoes, good price.
Size: 4 Big Kid, Color: Mint/Purple
I ended up sending these direct to my kid at sleepaway camp and thankfully they fit well and have stood up well despite her rugged use of them. Most impt to me, they have RUBBER soles, not that cheap styrafoam mascarading as a sneaker sole.

Run Large
Size: 2 Little Kid, Color: Turquoise/Navy/Purple
We love the Saucony brand for quality, but my child felt the Saucony boys Velocer a/C (Little Kid/Big Kid) ran large. She is a true 2, but the 2s fit too long in the length and width so we returned.

Laces coming off
Size: 5 Big Kid, Color: Blue/Turquoise/Pink, Size: 5 Big Kid, Color: Blue/Turquoise/Pink
Cute and comfy but the laces are coming apart after two weeks of just wearing them to school and home. We got a measly 10$ refund for our troubles 😑

Are holding up great, but needed the wide
I bought these shoes for my daughter to wear to kindergarten. They wear navy uniforms and she loves pink so I thought these were perfect. I ordered her size according to the size chart (but didn’t check width because she’s never needed wide shoes in the past). The normal width were too tight on her toes but the length was right. I returned them for the wide and they are perfect. 2 months into school they still look brand new. Just be sure to check both length and width. I printed a measuring guide from Saucony’s website.
