Book description

Magnify your real-world impact as you lead others in a social change organization

In Management In a Changing World: How to Manage for Equity, Sustainability, and Results renowned social changemakers Jakada Imani, Monna Wong, and Bex Ahuja deliver an effective and practical how-to guide for the equitable management of nonprofit and social change organizations. In the book, you'll learn how to multiply your impact by using the authors' insightful strategies for delegation, goal setting, and team culture-building. You'll also discover how to fairly exercise power in an environment that spans racial, generational, gender, and other identity divides.

Management In a Changing World shows you how to:

  • Create work-life balance for your team members in an age when we have virtually unlimited access to our colleagues' attention and time
  • Support team members through life's challenges while still meeting the demands your social change organization faces
  • Bridge the gap between your intentions and your real-world impact with actionable advice, tools, and resources

An essential resource for rookie and veteran managers, executive directors, and CEOs, Management In a Changing World will also earn a place on the bookshelves of organizers managing teams of volunteers.
