About this listen
Imagine a successful company culture where people joyfully do meaningful work they believe in, alongside supportive, positive, enthusiastic colleagues.
From the former CEO of WD-40 Company, this guide will show you how to make this vision a reality—and how to become a true leader along the way.
In Any Dumb-Ass Can Do It, Chairman Emeritus Garry Ridge tells the story of how he helped grow WD-40 Company into one of the world’s most recognized and beloved brands. How did he do it? By following the wisdom of Aristotle: “Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work.”
In his trademark Aussie storytelling fashion, Garry shares experiences from his life that combine to create a deep well of leadership wisdom. You’ll discover:
- How one letter from a devoted father inspired Garry’s thinking around the legacy of positive, lasting memories
- How to transform any workplace into a community where everyone thrives in psychological safety
- The importance of never getting too impressed with yourself
- The number one responsibility of every leader, regardless of position
- What he learned when he thought he was smarter than a hotel fire alarm on a cold, rainy London night
- Garry’s takeaway from the time he rode a horse to Wall Street, dressed in full knight’s armor
- What makes a soul-sucking CEO (and how not to be one)
Any Dumb-Ass Can Do It is the story of Garry’s grand adventure in his own words, broken down into learning moments—those flashes of insight that have made all the difference in the world.

Humans have always been good at inventing tools that change the way we live and work—though not always good at adapting to those changes. Consider how the internet has given us instant access to gigabytes of data and yet has made us more distracted. Or how social media has enabled us to be more connected than ever, and yet it can also alienate or isolate us. Will the power of AI create a new era of robotic, impersonal efficiency, or will it catalyze a renaissance, redefining leadership and the world of work?

We all spend a lot of energy trying to get people to listen to us, and despite our best efforts, we often fail. But what if the secret to influencing others was to demonstrate acceptance? Enter validation—communication where one accepts and sees the validity in another person’s experience. Research on validation shows that it has profound effects, from improving relationships and de-escalating conflicts to increasing one’s influence and self-compassion.

Increasingly, people report feeling overlooked, ignored, and underappreciated at work. Simply put, they don't feel like they matter to their leaders or organizations. This hidden epidemic of insignificance is fueling a mental health crisis, intensifying loneliness, and, for organizations, driving disengagement, turnover, and low performance. Filled with practical advice, helpful exercises, and inspiring real-world examples, The Power of Mattering equips leaders at all levels with the tools they need to revitalize their teams—and entire organizations—by showing people that they matter.

Critic reviews
“Garry Ridge is the embodiment of what it means to be a great CEO. That he took the time to write down how he learned to lead (with such humility, I might add) means that we all get to learn how to lead like him. And that can only be a good thing!”—Simon Sinek, New York Times Bestselling Author, The Infinite Game
“It’s not every day that you come across a CEO who aims to be the dumbest person in the room. Garry Ridge’s take on leadership is as refreshing as it is rare.”—Adam Grant, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author, Think Again and Hidden Potential, and Host, WorkLife podcast
“I absolutely loved this book. Garry Ridge wants you to know that being a great leader is simple. But simple, alas, doesn’t mean easy. Becoming a great leader means becoming a better person—more caring, curious, humble, and more fully dedicated to making things better . . . Garry delightfully conveys the accumulated stories and wisdom of decades of leadership practice.”—Amy C. Edmondson, Novartis Professor of Leadership, Harvard Business School, and Author, Right Kind of Wrong

A century ago, the Sentience Wars tore the galaxy apart and nearly ended the entire concept of intelligent space-faring life. In the aftermath, a curious tradition was invented - something to cheer up everyone who was left and bring the shattered worlds together in the spirit of peace, unity, and understanding. Once every cycle, the civilizations gather for the Metagalactic Grand Prix - part gladiatorial contest, part beauty pageant, part concert extravaganza, and part continuation of the wars of the past.

Despite the billions of dollars invested every year into leadership development, leaders aren’t collectively becoming more successful. Existing tools like assessments, models, and styles have proven largely inadequate in equipping leaders for today’s age of work. For leaders to succeed in a landscape more unpredictable than ever, they need a new perspective and a brand-new set of skills that center around what is missing in the models and existing tools: flexibility.
