Manifesto for a Moral Revolution: Ideas You Can Use to Change the World
Paperback | 272 pages
"An instant classic." âArianna Huffington
"Will inspire people from across the political spectrum." âJonathan Haidt
An essential shortlist of leadership ideas for everyone who wants to do good in this world, from Jacqueline Novogratz, author of the New York Times bestseller The Blue Sweater and founder and CEO of Acumen.
In 2001, when Jacqueline Novogratz founded Acumen, a global community of socially and environmentally responsible partners dedicated to changing the way the world tackles poverty, few had heard of impact investingâAcumenâs practice of âdoing well by doing good.â Nineteen years later, thereâs been a seismic shift in how corporate boards and other stakeholders evaluate businesses: impact investment is not only morally defensible but now also economically advantageous, even necessary.
Still, it isnât easy to reach a success that includes profits as well as mutually favorable relationships with workers and the communities in which they live. So how can todayâs leaders, who often kick off their enterprises with high hopes and short timetables, navigate the challenges of poverty and war, of egos and impatience, which have stymied generations of investors who came before?
Drawing on inspiring stories from change-makers around the world and on memories of her own most difficult experiences, Jacqueline divulges the most common leadership mistakes and the mind-sets needed to rise above them. The culmination of thirty years of work developing sustainable solutions for the problems of the poor, Manifesto for a Moral Revolution offers the perspectives necessary for all thoseâwhether ascending the corporate ladder or bringing solar light to rural villagesâwho seek to leave this world better off than they found it.
