How to Change The World: the essential guide for social sector leaders

Craig Dearden-Phillips has updated his 2008 title ‘Your Chance to Change the World’ with this new guide.

The practical guide looks at leadership from a range of angles, including transformation, digital, entrepreneurial, cultural, team, funder, charismatic, and future.

It concludes with an examination of “your leadership”.

It features a foreword by Norman Lamb MP. 

Reviews

Every leader in the social sector starts out believing they can change the world. But they often find that making a clear, measurable difference isn’t easy. Few, by mid-career, are achieving quite as much impact as they anticipated. Some leaders settle for that and focus on having a decent career. Others don’t sit back. Instead, they look to take their effectiveness as a social sector leader to another level. This book shares the experience of more than 25 exceptional leaders running successful charities, social enterprises and public service mutuals.

“We need honest discussion and bold solutions to the challenges facing our society today. This book will help you play your part in leading the change we all need to see.”
Norman Lamb MP

“We’re seeing increasing insecurity and instability in the charity sector as funding becomes harder to secure. This book will help you adapt to these changing times, survive and succeed.”
Dawn Austwick, CEO Big Lottery Fund
