He knows what he's talking about, because he's done it himself. Anyone who wants to make a change in the world, or their own lives, will benefit from this book.\" —Bill Gates, Cochair, Bill \u0026amp; Melinda Gates Foundation\n\u003cbr\u003e \n\u003cbr\u003eRajiv J. Shah, president of the Rockefeller Foundation and former administrator of President Barack Obama's United States Agency for International Development, shares a dynamic new model for creating large scale change, inspired by his own involvements with some of the largest humanitarian projects of our time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRajiv J. Shah is no stranger to pulling off the impossible, from helping vaccinate 900 million children at the Bill \u0026amp; Melinda Gates Foundation to a high-pressure race against the clock to stop the spread of Ebola. His secret? A big bets philosophy—the idea that seeking to solve problems rather than make incremental improvements can attract the unlikely partners with the power and know-how to achieve transformational change. Part career sweeping memoir, part inspirational playbook, Big Bets offers a master class in decision-making, leadership, and changing the world one bet at a time. \n\u003cbr\u003e \n\u003cbr\u003eShah animates his strategic insights with vivid behind-the-scenes stories, memorable conversations with household names that helped shape his approach to creating change, and his own personal growth as an Indian-American from an immigrant family looking for a way to belong. He distills his battle-tested strategies for creating change, arguing that big bets have a surprising advantage over cautious ones: a bold vision can attract support, collaborations, and fresh ideas from key players who might otherwise be resistant. Throughout the book, Shah traces his unlikely path to the Rockefeller Foundation across a changing world and through some of the most ambitious, dramatic global efforts to create a better world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Simon Element","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48225896792299,"sku":"EB_BM0600_E10-06_SIMS","price":33.95,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9781668035122-1.jpg?v=1785900701","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/zh\/products\/9781668035122","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
