Positive Chutzpah is the new mindset for success and innovation. It's what helps today’s corporate leaders achieve exceptional success, and explains why some organizations make it big, while others fail. After studying hundreds of successful entrepreneurs, we identified the crucial ingredient for success, and we call it Positive Chutzpah. Adopted into English, the Yiddish word "Chutzpah" is the willingness to break with convention and to try new things. Positive Chutzpah is the mindset that helped Israel become the world’s leading “Start-up Nation,” with more companies listed on the NASDAQ stock exchange per capita than any country outside the US. And this same mentality is found in successful organizations around the world. It’s not just bending the rules — it’s about changing them The Positive Chutzpah mindset pairs ambitious vision with great passion and the determination to follow through. It goes much further than just “thinking outside the box.” It’s the audacity to act outside the box and change the rules of the game, without fear of failure or criticism. Integral to the Positive Chutzpah mindset is the ambition to bring positive results to the global community. It is an inclusive and diversity-oriented mindset. It is focused on helping, building and creating. ​It's the powerful mindset that makes Israeli entrepreneurs so innovative. However, the more we research Positive Chutzpah the more we see that it's universal, it's beyond any boundaries of culture, gender, or profession - and anyone can learn and adopt it. ​ ​
