An innovation expert illuminates why your power to make a difference is no longer bound by your status

If you're like most people, you wish you had the ability to make a difference, but you don't have the credentials, or a seat at the table, can't get past the gatekeepers, and aren't high enough in any hierarchy to get your ideas heard.

In The Power of Onlyness, Nilofer Merchant, one of the world's top-ranked business thinkers, reveals that, in fact, we have now reached an unprecedented moment of opportunity for your ideas to "make a dent" on the world. Now that the Internet has liberated ideas to spread through networks instead of hierarchies, power is no longer determined by your status, but by "onlyness"--that spot in the world only you stand in, a function of your distinct history and experiences, visions and hopes. If you build upon your signature ingredient of purpose and connect with those who are equally passionate, you have a lever by which to move the world.

This new ability is already within your grasp, but to command it, you need to know how to meaningfully mobilize others around your ideas. Through inspirational and instructive stories, Merchant reveals proven strategies to unleash the centrifugal force of a new idea, no matter how weird or wild it may seem.

Imagine how much better the world could be if every idea could have its shot, not just the ones that come from expected people and places. Which long-intractable problems would we solve, what new levels of creativity would be unlocked, and who might innovate a breakthrough that could benefit ourselves, our communities, and especially our economy. This limitless potential of onlyness has already been recognized by Thinkers 50, the Oscars of management, which cited it one of the five ideas that will shape business for next twenty years.

Why do some individuals make scalable impact with their ideas, regardless of their power or status? The Power of Onlyness unravels this mystery for the first time so that anyone can make a dent. Even you. ...more

Shelves: giveaways, nonfiction

Merchant's concept of "onlyness" is that we are each the only person in the world who could do certain things. (For instance, I'm the only one who could have written many of my poems, because they are narratives of personal experiences that only I have had.) Her idea is that we can take our onlyness out into the world, bond with others who each have their own onlyness, and make things happen together. (As she calls it, making a dent in the world.)

Most of the book consists of case studies of indi ...more

When I started this book, I had low expectations. I feared it would be a self-help book filled with buzzwordsz. I still think “onlyness” is a bit of a buzzword, but Merchant’s stories of folks who have “dented” the world are fascinating, instructive, and inspiring. A worthwhile read.

How would you like to make more of a difference in the world? Do you sometimes wake up in the morning with a bit of angst about your role in impacting change, but perhaps have no idea how to do it? If so, then The Power of Onlyness (published/on sale on August 29, 2017) is a must read for you. Nilofer Merchant’s newest book is an accessible, timely, relevant, bold and powerful guide that shows how anyone can use their own ideas to make a valuable contribution.

Merchant quickly pulls you into the How would you like to make more of a difference in the world? Do you sometimes wake up in the morning with a bit of angst about your role in impacting change, but perhaps have no idea how to do it? If so, then The Power of Onlyness (published/on sale on August 29, 2017) is a must read for you. Nilofer Merchant’s newest book is an accessible, timely, relevant, bold and powerful guide that shows how anyone can use their own ideas to make a valuable contribution.

Merchant quickly pulls you into the narrative by sharing her own story of transformation, when she walks out on an arranged marriage and how that helped her to define her "onlyness." And while Merchant’s story is unique to her, her bold move is empowering and serves as a metaphor for how everyone of us can discover our own value in our own lives. Merchant weaves in 20 captivating stories that encourage you to embrace your own unique identity and purpose. In doing so, she makes a clear distinction between “uniqueness” (too contextual) and “onlyness,” which only you can define. Unlocking your "onlyness" gives you the keys to take control of what happens to you. Even if you may not be responsible for much of what occurs in your life, you are completely responsible for your reaction to it. Yet in defining your "onlyness," it doesn’t isolate you. Onlyness simply directs you to recognize your own value, so that you are making your own contribution to society.

Indeed, this very notion of collaboration and co-creation, which Merchant introduced in her earlier two works, comes full circle in Onlyness. The magic of "onlyness" is that it fuses individuality, collaboration and what we can accomplish together. You define it and work with others to include your ideas and co-create as part of the larger group that shares your values. Doing this means taking ownership of your ideas and having the confidence to say no to anyone who attempts to define something that is inherently yours. Yet even that which may be inherently yours does not make you perfect; but no one else will value what you bring to the table unless you do. That inherent value and self-acceptance are pillars that define your "onlyness."

The concepts and ideas that Merchant shares throughout Onlyness are equally tangible and accessible. You can’t help but feel empowered to change something while you’re reading the book or when you put it down. As Merchant points out, “We each want to add value and be valued. We need to design systems that enable that.” And it’s urgent that we do it now. Broad parts of our workforce are being underutilized because they are unable to contribute their own ideas, creativity or judgment, Merchant says, and that will only be exacerbated by the automation of many jobs. Merchant provides the road map. We owe it to ourselves, individually and collectively, to act on it.

There are countless pearls of wisdom throughout Onlyness, and likely we will each find different ones that resonate with us. Don’t ignore the footnotes at the bottom of many pages, as I frequently do when reading many other books, for it is there, in Merchant’s book, that you may find even deeper meaning to your "onlyness."

It got more and more interesting to me as I progressed- I felt "Lean In"-ed at the beginning in a way that I did not like very much but- the author seems to have the intention to empower human beings to pay attention to themselves and take actions on their “productive” thoughts and also sees and encourages the inherent capacity of cooperative human efforts in a very smart way. On the other hand-she speaks at one point of being at a party, soon after having “retired as ceo,” after many business pursuits of various sorts, and doesn’t know how to answer the question: “…and who are you?” and so she says “nobody”. and then she’s like i should have spoken my accomplishments. to her these mean words like “global manager”. some people- me included- work without being somebody in the way that nilifer merchant expects the people reading this book to be- nobody and global manager are not opposites. she is very savvy about how to solve problems and is obviously a good observer of the world in many ways. It is in the last few chapters that she acknowledges that there is a place outside of where she solves problems, the rest of humanity, she mentions that the 80% who don’t have “advanced degrees or executive positions” etc harbor the creativity of humanity and the ability to solve problems and, basically, “should” be incorporated into the solving being done by global managers. Her perspective on this is kind of strange to me- she says the top needs to pull in the bottom. I agree with her. I also- don’t think we’ll all fit there. Which is a big problem that she doesn’t seem to see right in the middle of some of the lacks that she sees, which is where I see it.

I think a lot about the kinds of “work” there are for what kinds of people. Nilofer Merchant, and a lot of people, see a way of life to climb into through industries- advertising, technology, engineering, communications (i almost feel that all of these need “scare quotes”). She’s like let’s find new places to climb into with ingenuous human-ness… I don’t want the starting places to be i mean certainly first and in many ways bummeriest: advertising. Anyway this structuring of priorities is strange. She also definitely is working within these systems in the world to create systems that legislate equality and collectively research diseases. What do I mean by this complaint I am dancing around? Do you know?

very interesting predicament we’re in. our systems cultivate the cream at the top; she sees the importance of actually every kind of person contributing to systems of ideas and solutions; she only knows how to work from inside that cultivated cream, but calls out so specifically the need to flex this space outward; I see imminent failure by pulling people one by one into this space.

I had a meeting at the children’s museum today about making a small thing, and talked to them about their arts funding programs and about how the people who work in the shop got there- I have an old friend who works there and now I see this open door there. not being like offered a job or position or project. When I was younger I was so mad about how this is how the world works. I didn’t have any old acquaintances here or any particular skills and certainly no social skills. I still show up at a situation like this and see that there’s a way that nilifer merchant, and a lot of people in my social circle, would ply this situation to their advantage- that i don’t understand quite how to do. they asked me to do this thing- i asked to see their water drain room. i wish the art grant could be to install some sort of power generation system from the water that falls three stories and put it into the system to where it is filtered that pumps it back up three stories to where it is the brominated play stuff of the water room. we have weird money stacking problems. i guess money is allocated for things like water and energy all the time and that’s why special funds are allocated to arts. i feel like i just don’t understand though. and that nilifer merchant is better at playing by the rules and then breaking them than i can be. maybe?!?! some other crunchy person read this, please and let me know what you think i mean or am i just being shitty?

and this is all besides the actual point of the book. which is to talk through validating pursuing a path that you see that others don’t. i wish she also discussed crackpot-ism. I guess the actual point was so succinct and well supported that i’m just talking about the narrative construct itself or something? I keep ending these paragraphs in questions because i really don’t understand what i mean to say but i know there’s something that i mean to say. maybe part of it is that nobody vs global manager thing. these big things about society and individualism and collectivism and money making and need and want and problem solving are woven in with like imposter syndrome and office culture skirt suit and self esteem/doubt things too tightly. ...more

I expect these are the phrases I'm going to hear a lot about Nilofer Merchant's new book, The Power Of Onlyness: Make Your Wild Ideas Mighty Enough To Dent The World. "Great book," because it is. This is an actionable book filled with stories that would have made you glad to read them even if they didn't teach you something. "Perfect time," because of all the conflict in the world and how we need to deepen our discussions around many of the things we may have let slide before. Perhaps, perfect timing for me as I embark upon a new set of adventures around my research, speaking, and consulting.

The image of onlyness resonated with me from the very beginning. On page 2, Merchant says:
“You’re standing in the spot in the world that only you stand in, a function of your history and experiences, visions, and hopes. From this spot where only you stand, you offer a distinct point of view, novel insights, and even groundbreaking ideas.”
http://amzn.to/2wQ7Jtf
HTTP://AMZN.TO/2WQ7JTF

My research is about the mixing of human, technical, and organizational dimensions of work. This book is a deep dive into the human -- and particularly, your own -- contributions. Until talking with Nilofer about the idea of onlyness, I’d never thought as deeply about the unique contribution that each one of us can make. Only I can stand in this particular spot at this particular moment. Yes, my science fiction loving-self could challenge that, but even there we could have some interesting insights about that.

Onlyness is more than finding your passion. It’s about exploring your opportunities to contribute. The book offers examples big and small. It also helps you focus on the evolution of onlyness. My first goal is to assess how I can further develop my onlyness. I want my place in the world to be more than happenstance.

For Santa Clara University Readers

We have an extra gift in Chapter 3. Merchant, an MBA alumna (and now my colleague and friend), chronicles Prof. André Delbecq’s story of onlyness. Though I’d been honored to know André for more than 16 years (we lost him to cancer this year), I did not know how much work it took for him to stand in his particular place in the world. André was one of the wisest people I’ve known and this chapter is a unique view into the evolution and enactment of that wisdom.

For all of us: “Don’t Be a Lonely Only” (p. 53)

Like most great books, this is a call to action. It's a call to collaborate. The quote from p. 2 continues, “Now that you can grow and realize those ideas through the power of networks, you have a new lever to move the world.” More than ever before we have the chance to find and work with others to make dents in the world. As I write this, it seems that more than ever before the world needs us to make positive contributions. Make your ideas mighty!

"Finding 'your people' sometimes means having to walk away from places you don't fit in rather than trying to squeeze yourself into a too-tight space with the aim to belong. It isn't until people make that choice that they are able to find others who share something meaningful with them."

"Instead of waiting for some 'perfect' way to add value, maybe just see what needs to be done. Even if that action is small."

"The uniting power here is common purpose. When purpose is the glue, then the group's 'us' does not suppress individual ideas at the expense of greater unity, and as a result, those ideas can grow big enough to dent the world. The way to achieve this is through defining (or, rather, redefining) who we are to one another."

"The key quality that makes a group or tribe or community yours is that for you it becomes a place that you can shape and be shaped by. The bonds--of caring, of trust, of love, and, of course, of purpose--make your community a sanctuary where you can freely admit you don't have it all together and where you can be willing to ask for or give help."

"She pays attention, shifts priorities, blends, and creates a context where everyone can be more than he or she is alone."

"When a community shares its failures, it shows how and what it is learning and thus demonstrates increased competence. When it shares its decision-making process, it reveals its values. When it makes a tough choice and shares its reasoning, it demonstrates its integrity. When a leader has demonstrated selflessness over a period of time, it shows he will reliably choose the community interest over his own."

"Technology is the enabling agent; what actually creates the binding scale are the purpose, meaning, and shared values that are inherent in onlyness. Just as technology is displacing jobs, it is also opening up ways to connect and create value." ...more

Onlyness playfully flips loneliness upside down. That these words are but one phoneme apart suggests, rightfully so, that with a quick mindset re-calibration, isolation becomes togetherness, helplessness becomes empowerment.
