[COMM-ORG] New book on Generational Change and Leadership now available!

[Discussion list for COMM-ORG]

[ed:  congrats to Frances and co-authors on the new book. And apologies 
for the delay in getting this out--it came in last Friday.]

From: "Frances Kunreuther" <fkunreuther at demos.org>

 

Among the many issues that have proceeded next week's U.S. presidential 
election has been the discussions about generational shifts in 
leadership and acknowledgement of the unprecedented activism among young 
people across the country. This could not be a better time for an 
examination about generational change in social change organizations.

 

The Building Movement Project is pleased to announce the release of our 
new book, Working Across Generations: Defining the Future of Nonprofit 
Leadership

Written by Building Movement Project authors Frances Kunreuther, Helen 
Kim and Robby Rodriguez, the book offers a comprehensive approach to 
looking at leadership and generational shifts in the nonprofit sector. 
It includes:

·         Fresh perspectives and practical advice on how to work across 
generational divides;

·         Research findings, real-life stories, useful charts and exercises;

·         Stories and case examples from across the country; and

·         Recommendations on how individuals, organizations and the 
nonprofit sector can all play an important part in paving the way for 
more vibrant and expansive leadership in the nonprofit sector.

 

"Instead of the "sky is falling" alarms about generational change that 
are reminiscent of the Y2K scare, Kunreuther, Kim and Rodriguez have 
written a real-world look at the context and complexities of the changes 
to come, and a practical approach for maximizing the opportunities that 
these changes present to us."

- Jan Masaoka, Director & Editor in Chief, BlueAvocado.org

 

"A much-needed addition to the field of non-profit leadership. Nuanced, 
balanced, optimistic and practical, Working Across Generations should be 
required reading for anyone who cares about the sustainability of this 
essential sector."

- Akaya Windwood, President/CEO, Rockwood Leadership Institute
