Description

Our one-leader-at-a-time past has given way to a present reality where everyone has the potential to lead in every aspect of life. We all have at our fingertips the tools of change that were once available to just a few - and The shift from one-leader-at-a-time to everyone-leading-in-every-moment has created a changemaker effect on society. Change is no longer linear and faster, it's explosive and omnidirectional.

THE CHANGEMAKER PLAYBOOK will show you how to thrive in every aspect of today's transformed societal landscape.

A tutorial on the principles of empathy-based ethics and co-creative teamwork, THE CHANGEMAKER PLAYBOOK is as much a leadership handbook as it is a guide to personal achievement. Based on the author's discoveries about leading in change from front-edge thinkers - business and social entrepreneurs, educators, media thought leaders and youth changemakers - who distinguish themselves by putting their bold ideas and entrepreneurial capacities to work for the good of all, readers can apply the principles in this bookto every aspect of their lives.

This book is less about getting ahead and more about getting along - because in the world we have entered, this is the central principle underlying the new success formula.

The most constant thing is change. The world around us is changing, technology influenced our personal and professional lives, the way of doing business changes. What is important for today's leader? Embrace the change, act with empathy, look forward to new things and keep positive attitude. There are a lot of interesting stories in the book that teach embracing change.

Thank you, Nicholas Brealy Publishing, for the advance reading copy.

This guidebook is a much needed one today as most of the popular guidebooks do not apply for every work situation and different kinds of leadership.

I love how direct and practical the content is. With three different sections with concise chapters, different work scenarios are given and explained for the different leaders. Love the relevant anecdotes and real experiences used for the explanations.

Take your time while reading this book. It's going to make huge changes in your work and make your team work better than it has ever done before.

We know it's the application parts that would be the most difficult. But the basics are explained quite well in a manner the reader will be excited to follow and apply.

Go for this if you truly desire to become a leader who would become the leader you wanted to be.
