Best-selling Author (and long-term friend) Mark Schaefer thinks he has hit on the answer in his latest book “Cumulative Advantage: How to Build Momentum for Your Ideas, Business, & Life Against All Odds” which guides readers on a path that helps them stand out in a world of overwhelming information density when sometimes even being “great” is not enough.
