Managers accept the world as it is; movement starters push the boundaries to make it more just, compassionate and even joyful. We all need to decide: Are we managers or movement starters?
Jennifer Dulski, the head of Groups & Community at Facebook, and former president of Change.org, explains how you can turn your mission into a movement that creates change - whether you're at a startup or a political campaign, a Fortune 500 company or a local community group, as an intern or a CEO. Anyone can spark change if they believe in the power of taking action, no matter where, or how small, they start.
Dulski explains how to create a clear vision, inspire supporters, persuade decision-makers, navigate criticism and more. She pairs her own experience as a startup founder, tech executive and social change leader with powerful stories of movement leaders from both business and activism.
Our world needs movement starters more than ever. Packed with practical advice and the inspiring true stories of movement starters from all walks of life, Purposeful will empower you to start your own movement, and make your mark on the world.
This book is for people who want to believe they can affect change, to help them understand where they have power, and how to use it. Our world of work is changing and we need new lessons on how to adapt to these new values, whether that's balancing work and family life or empowering women as leaders. Former senior executive at Yahoo and Google, and now President and COO of Change.org, Jennifer Dulski uses her own life experiences, stories from throughout her career, and inspiring examples of Change.org petition starters to offer lessons on how we can all tap into our power to change the world.
From following your natural talents, finding a mentor, harnessing the power of fear, and closing the confidence gap, Jennifer will teach you how we can all be leaders, doing more meaningful work and living a life with more purpose.
