Physicist and author
Safi Bahcall is a physicist, former biotech CEO, and author who studied at Harvard and earned his PhD from Stanford. His bestselling book Loonshots uses the science of phase transitions to explain why teams and organisations suddenly shift from embracing breakthrough ideas to rejecting them, and how leaders can nurture radical innovation.

Bahcall argues that breakthroughs die not from bad ideas but from bad organisational structure. Separating 'artists' from 'soldiers' and manageing the transfer between them nurtures radical innovation.
The books Safi Bahcall references, cites, and recommends most frequently.
by Clayton Christensen
Christensen explains why successful companies fail: they rationally ignore disruptive innovations that initially serve small, unprofitable markets, until those markets overtake them entirely.
