Choosing to Lead Against the Current: The Courageous Operating System for Changemakers--Empowering Leaders to Transform the World with Integrity, Impa -- Eveline Shen, Paperback
This is the blueprint we need to lead with audacity, transform oppression into power, and ignite a future rooted in collective liberation. --Lateefah Simon, US Congress member and MacArthur "Genius" Fellow Heart-centered tools for social change leaders to foster courage, keep momentum, and manage burnout In the face of complex challenges, capable leaders need more than a simple box of leadership tools. They need an internal system of leadership, a tested operating system to help them navigate successfully through forces of oppression, while staying connected to their purpose, values, and vision. In Choosing to Lead Against the Current, award-winning movement leader, social change strategist, and executive director Eveline Shen shares her Courageous Operating System, a revolutionary system designed to help positive transformation leaders cultivate their power, sustain themselves both mentally and physically, and create lasting conditions for success. With inspiring stories and case-studies drawn from her own experiences, as well as, from her work with other change leaders, topics include how to:
- Turn encounters with adversity into sources of strength
- Redefine success on one's own terms
- Build creative momentum against forces of oppression
- Transform failures into progress
- Prioritize short and long-term self-care
