My new book, Locking Arms, Changing Communities: Leading Grassroots Change, is now available. The book expands on posts on this site, examines new concepts, and shares valuable resources for people seeking to improve the quality of life in their communities.
From the preface:
“It is my hope that this book might change some minds about what leadership is, and about who can lead. If you are passionate about changing some situation in the world, or in your community, or in your neighborhood, and you know even one other person who shares your vision, you can lead efforts to make that change a reality.”
