An instant classic. --Arianna Huffington Will inspire people from
across the political spectrum. --Jonathan Haidt Longlisted for the
Porchlight Business Book of the Year Award, 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
investing--Acumen's practice of "doing well by doing good."
Nineteen years later, there's 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 isn't 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 today's 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 those--whether
ascending the corporate ladder or bringing solar light to rural
villages--who seek to leave this world better off than they found
it.
