Think. Act. Lead.
It seems simple enough. But understanding your desired impact and how it fits into a larger picture, connecting your work to others and finding new collaborators, and bringing those collaborators together and moving them in a unified direction is never easy.
Using real-life examples and practice exercises, the authors teach how to acquire and use skills to solve complex problems and propel your organization forward by combining a multitude of perspectives, split into three sections: Think Like a System, Act Like a Network, Lead Like a Movement.
It’s time to get out of our silos. Don’t lead alone.
