Successful companies have CEOs that celebrate maverickism, recognising that having employees that are able to think laterally, have integrity and are willing to point out and provide solutions to the errors of the company are to be encouraged. Mavericks or Troublesome Talent® within an organisation can bring a strong business focus wrapped up in a fission of creativity. This can equip the company with an ability to out fox the competition – especially as many companies are weighted with passionless and passive employees.

Maverick organisations think different strategically, take risks and show an unprecedented wilful independence from their competitors and others in their industry. This difference is the key to their success and customer loyalty. See here.

Maverick Mastery® is essential for organisations that can make difference count.

Do you have Troublesome Talent^®? If so they …

• always looking for challenges and getting bored once you’ve achieved them
• feel that you are more talented than your peers
• have more influence and autonomy than your peers
• are often described as charming and charismatic
• are trusted by others

They wish that they could be left to do what’s right …

Troublesome Talent^® are often frustrated that their ideas and solutions are not taken seriously by the organisation, who prefer to spend time discussing how they have articulated themselves. They cannot understand why this would be a preoccupation rather than the innovative solution that they have suggested. Troublesome Talent^® get bored easily and can become destructive if ignored. They often suffer from Success Syndrome.

Mavericks are easily bored and need to be given constant challenges to ensure that they are as productive and engaged as they could be. They tend to come up with innovative solutions and their way of working didn’t fit established corporate norms.

The Maverick is unafraid to question authority, buck trends or do what is ‘expected’ and understands that they are a square peg in a round hole. They have realised that they are under utilised, bored in their roles and that they often act inappropriately in the circumstances that they find themselves in.

This leads to frustration, and the lack of challenge soon sees them looking elsewhere for stimulation.

The Maverick comes from all types of professions from professional partnerships like accountancy or law, corporate life or individuals running their own business.

Their wilful independence can be a blessing or a curse dependent on how they harness their abilities. See here.

Maverick Mastery® is essential for the restless mind needing to realise its untapped potential.

Maverickism is a continuum between being a conformist to an extreme maverick that cannot be influenced. Neither of the continuum ends are ideal, causing poor performance and personality flaws, the ideal is a socialised maverick.

Judith Germain defines a socialised maverick as one that can be ‘brought into polite company!’ Seriously though, mavericks that are socialised understand why people behave the way that they do and have learnt to curb their natural tendencies to be blunt and hurtful towards others. Whilst these tendencies are often not planned or even noticed they need to be harnessed so that the maverick can achieve what they desire.

Recognition and success is the watch words for mavericks, socialised mavericks are well on the way to achieving these things in an acceptable way.

Are you a maverick? If so you …

• think laterally and move in unexpected ways
• believe in tough love and brutal honesty
• are blunt and impatient of others incompetence
• love ‘why’ questions and honest debate
• need to succeed and do things your own way
• refuse to compromise your own standards

You must succeed no matter what …

A maverick business owner demonstrates wilful independence and how they do this determines how well they will succeed in their endeavours. This type of person left a secure corporate job because they were unhappy trying to successfully navigate their way in corporations that could no longer contain them. They are ambitious business owners with big goals, very focused on getting more clients and delivering their core skill (training, or consulting for example). It is imperative that they concentrate on their business rather than working in it all the time. This is the only way they can achieve the stretching goals that they have set themselves.

These types of business owners are creative, big picture individuals who are busy but not focused. They are also impulsive and are spending their time working in the business not on it.

Maverick Business Owners do not want lifestyle businesses, they want a sustainable business that grows to be bigger than they are. Having a truely entrepreneurial mindset is keen to achieve this, otherwise the inherent traits of impulsiveness, impatience and risk taking can have an adverse effect on the business. See here.
