What s the secret to business growth and innovation and a purpose-driven career in a world that is becoming vastly more complicated by the day? According to Marc Benioff, the answer is embracing a culture in which your values permeate everything you do.
In Trailblazer, Benioff gives readers a rare behind-the-scenes look at the inner workings of one of the world s most admired companies. He reveals how Salesforce s core values trust, customer success, innovation, and equality and commitment to giving back have become the company s greatest competitive advantage and the most powerful engine of its success.

Along the way, he shares insights and best practices for anyone who wants to cultivate a company culture positioned to thrive in the face of the inevitable disruption ahead.
