The lessons in this book can be used by anyone-from the elected official to the nonprofit leader to the average citizen-hoping to discover new, more inclusive ways to address community problems. The combination of exercises for personal reflection, practical suggestions for working with others, and stories of the successes and failures of ordinary people offers every reader ways to communicate authentically, advocate effectively, and lead productively toward a better world.
