Trailblazer

Praise

“Trailblazer is an urgent and compelling book for anyone in business who yearns to fulfill a higher mission in the world. Marc’s powerful and poignant stories of leadership remind each of us what we can achieve when we abandon “business as usual” and make our values the driving force of our work.”—Richard Branson, founder of the Virgin Group, author and philanthropist

“Marc Benioff is a champion in more ways than one!

“Benioff shares how his business became hugely successful not in spite of his determination to do what he believed in, but because of it. He provides a role model for talented young people in the business world, and for everyone who wants to make a positive impact.”—Jane Goodall, primatologist and world-renowned conservationist

“With intelligence, candor and spiritual depth, Benioff generously shares invaluable lessons—often learned the hard way working through contentious and challenging situations—from two decades leading one of the world’s most admired companies. From the Salesforce teams that have collectively volunteered millions of hours to improve public schools and other compelling causes, to the company’s stance on social issues beyond the bottom line, Benioff sets an incredibly inspiring example.”—will.i.am, Grammy award-winning artist, tech innovator, and philanthropist

“Corporate leaders today have to deliver growth with an eye toward societal impact. Marc Benioff is the rare CEO who has put this into practice.

“In the past, great leaders had a vision, and the brains to achieve it. But great leaders in the Fourth Industrial Revolution must have soul, in addition to brains and vision.
