The social challenges facing us in the 2020's are radically different than those we faced even one generation ago. Meet the new leaders who are moving us forward and learn how to apply their same effectiveness, qualities, and attributes to you own leadership. The kinds of leadership it has always taken to build American communities and companies are still relevant, but they are not sufficient to define the level and quality of leadership it will take to rebuild an America that has become too uneven and siloed over the last 20 years. Turn to Taking Charge of Change to learn real life success stories of change leaders that will inspire and point the way to real life impact. Gain new perspective on what is possible through the inspiration of the change leaders featured in this book. Ultimately, Paul Shoemaker, Founding President of Social Venture Partners International -- a global network of thousands of social innovators, entrepreneurs, philanthropists, and business and community leaders -- shows leaders how change is happening and profiles the leaders behind it so that they have a model to follow.
