Bill Taylor is a writer, a speaker, and entrepreneur who has shaped the global conversation about the best ways to compete, innovate, and succeed. As a cofounder and founding editor of Fast Company, Bill launched a magazine that won countless awards, and earned a passionate following among executives and entrepreneurs around the world. His previous book (with Polly LaBarre), Mavericks at Work: Why the Most Original Minds in Business Win, was a New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller, and was named a "Business Book of the Year" by The Economist and the Financial Times.

Bill's just-published book, Practically Radical, is already a Wall Street Journal bestseller. Bestselling author Daniel H. Pink calls Practically Radical "the most powerful and instructive change manual you'll ever read." Anne Mulcahy, former chairman and CEO of Xerox, calls it "a handbook for successful transformation and a great tutorial for implementing your change agenda." Arianna Huffington says: "The ideas are fresh, the advice is stuff you can actually use, and the results will be tangible."

Bill writes a popular management blog for Harvard Business Review. He is an adjunct lecturer at Babson College and the co-author of three other books on strategy, leadership, and innovation. A graduate of Princeton University and the MIT Sloan School of Management, Bill lives in Wellesley, Massachusetts with his wife and two daughters.
