Beyond the Minor: How to Lead for Social Change

Exploring the new face of leadership, this edited collection contains nineteen stories from young graduates grappling with the complexities of leading in the fourth industrial revolution. These courageous leaders tackle challenges from energy efficiency to racial healing, and discover more about themselves, their communities, and the world they hope to change.Co-edited by career specialist Melanie Buford and leadership studies alumna Jacquelyn Burt, and with a foreword by higher education scholar Jennifer Trost, this volume examines leadership from multiple angles. It addresses what theorist John Dugan has called the "remarkable gap" between what we know about leadership and what we do with that knowledge.Each story expands our understanding of how leadership is practiced every day, providing useful tools, lessons in imperfection, professional guidance, and hopes for the future. This book offers inspiration for the next generation of leaders for social change.
