Some intrepid CEOs have dared to be different. When other airline CEOs were raising ticket prices, wringing concessions out of their shell-shocked unions, and begging the government for loans, David Neeleman, founder of jetBlue, was issuing boarding passes, loading baggage, and handing out biscotti to grateful customers.

In business, mavericks have changed industries, opened entirely new markets, and turned failing companies into industry leaders. Dare to Lead! is the story of 50 business leaders like David Neeleman who have succeeded precisely because they cast aside conventional wisdom and charted their own course.
