In Secret Stories of Leadership, Growth, and Innovation-Sustainable Transformation for a Safer, New, and Better World, David shares how multibillion-dollar categories and industries are built and how organized commerce and special interest groups battle. One of the key themes of this book is showcasing how ‘effective’ leadership resulted in billions earned and how ‘ineffective’ leadership resulted in missed opportunities and disaster.

David follows-up the 11 Principles of Leadership, Growth, and Innovation found in the first book, The Principles of Cartel Disruption, and add a twelfth secret and hidden key principle (See Exhibit I1). He takes you behind the curtain and gives you a rare glimpse into commercial negotiations and successful back channel diplomacy with former Cuban dictator Fidel Castro and focus’s on local and worldwide effective sustainability and Environmental Social Governance (ESG).

Focusing on the difference between a disruptive mindset and a cartel and market leader mindsets, David reflects on the lessons from Cartel Disruption and his Forbesbooks radio podcast, Sustainable Leadership, and Disruptive Growth, aligning third-party narratives with real-life situations. He details the greatest strategic planning and execution mistake in food and agricultural consumer product marketing history and gives you the details of a roller coaster ride in exiting the business.
