ARE YOU THE LEADER WE NEED FOR THE DECADE AHEAD?
When social impact thought leader Paul Shoemaker was researching effective civic change, he discovered something surprising: What matters most today in driving real change is less about a certain set of programs and more about a different kind of leadership. It is leadership poised to meet the radically different challenges of this decade ahead, including historic levels of inequity, silos, division, and resource scarcity. While innovation is always good, more than invention and innovation what is needed most now is re-invention and renovation.
Using the metaphor of America’s deteriorating bridges, Shoemaker shows us in Taking Charge of Change that the structures and foundations of American communities and companies are in deep need of rethinking and rebuilding. Writing for socially conscious and civically active leaders who seek greater impact—in the private, public, and nonprofit sectors—Shoemaker profiles thirty-eight rock star change agents who he dubs Rebuilders. He distills what makes them so effective.
Featured leaders include Peter Drucker Award winner Rosanne Haggerty, whose goal is to end chronic homelessness; Trish Millines, who has changed lives for kids of color in high tech; and David Risher, whose cross-sector approach is helping solve global illiteracy.

TAKING CHARGE OF CHANGE WILL TEACH YOU ABOUT:
24-7 Authenticity
24-7 Authenticity sits at the intersection of radical transparency and media-as-amplifier. You need to be authentic before you have to be. 24-7 implies a proactive quality. Not just responsively authentic, but leaning in, pushing your edge on authenticity. In our world of sometimes-hard-to-discern (or fake) news, this can’t be a transitory, transactional trait; it has to become a part of the DNA of real leaders. We’ll meet eight exemplars and learn their critical lessons.
Complexity Capacity
Complexity Capacity, which is about thinking in a non-linear, less-sequential way. It’s about knowing that past solutions are decreasingly useful for informing future solutions, hence the need to rethink and rebuild. A capacity for complexity means, metaphorically, you are better at open-ended, essay questions on the “test” than multiple choice or true-false. And we’ll spend some time understanding why “you better have women in the room.”
And 3 more vital traits that make you as an individual, your team, or your organization ready to lead in the decade ahead!
