Collaborative Leadership: How Citizens and Civic Leaders Can Make a Difference

As American society becomes increasingly diverse and public issues more complex, the traditional community problem–solving methods have come up short. Working together successfully today requires a profound shift in our conception of how change is created, and an equally profound shift in our conception of leadership. Collaborative Leadership is designed to help citizens and civic leaders bring together diverse community members in efforts that lead to real, measurable change in the lives of communities.
