Manifesto for a Moral Revolution

Więcej o książce

Essential leadership practices for everyone who wants to do good in this world, from the author of the New York Times bestseller The Blue Sweater and the founder and CEO of Acumen, Most of us want our lives to count for something. And many are eager to join the fight against climate catastrophe, poverty, injustice, or corruption. But how? In this book, Jacqueline Novogratz reveals what it takes. It's been nineteen years since Novogratz founded Acumen, a global community of socially and environmentally responsible entrepreneurs and investors dedicated to changing the way the world tackles poverty. Since then, through investment and leadership training around the world, from Pakistan to Colombia, from Uganda to the United States, Acumen has helped bring education, health care, clean water, energy, and sanitation to more than 323 million low-income people. Of course, it's challenging to achieve that kind of success, but Novogratz knows how it's done. Drawing on stories from inspiring, responsible change-makers around the world, and including memories of her own most difficult challenges, Novogratz shares ideas anyone can use to successfully surmount the most common hurdles faced by those who want to do good.
