If you want to be a successful leader in today's business world, you need to think like an activist. If you want to be a successful leader in today's business world, you need to think like an activist. This urgent and essential book shows how to do just that. The Activist Leader argues that the world needs a new kind of business leader, one that thinks differently about their role in today's challenges. From climate change to inequality, the major crises facing society have become critical issues for business, and the world expects companies to step up. This is a pragmatic book. Jon Miller and Lucy Parker show what it takes to do business in these challenging times, taking a close look at companies such as Apple, Mastercard, Nestle, Maersk, JP Morgan Chase and Walmart. Most people feel powerless when they look at the problems facing the world - but if you're a leader in a big business, you're not powerless. Whether you're a top executive or earlier in your working life, this book shows that thinking like an activist can have a transformative impact - for yourself, for your businesses, and for broader society.

Abstract: The importance of local leaders and experienced activists to the success of social movements has been established in the sociological literature. These activist-leaders do not spontaneously emerge out of nowhere, however, the process through which these activist-leaders emerge has not been explored. This study contends that these individuals have constructed an activist-leader identity through a process of politicizing the personal and personalizing the political. The role of identity in social movements has recently been emphasized as an area of interest, specifically collective identity. Scholars have been grappling with the question: what is the nature of the relationship between individual identity and collective identity in social movements? This case study of a faith-based community organizing group (FBCO), ELIJAH, draws upon 32 interviews, participant observation, and archival data to address these two issues through understanding the process by which an activist-leader identity comes about. The findings indicate that activist-leaders go through a process of politicizing their personal experiences and personalizing their political beliefs and actions. This results in a politicized personal narrative that motivates sustained activism and makes the collective identity with the social movement an integral part of the activist-leader's identity. This study provides an important contribution to the growing literature on identity in social movements and helps to address the question of how activist-leaders come about as well as the question of how individual and collective identities are related to one another.

"Randy Jurado Ertll has spent a lifetime in the activist trenches, and his book shows it. In it, he offers nitty-gritty details and advice for anyone interested in the non-profit world."-- Amitabh Pal (managing editor, The Progressive magazine) -- "[He] paints a powerful picture of his life as a committed community activist, leader, writer, organizer, and builder of a successful non-profit organization. Ertll provides a thoughtful pragmatic, energizing blueprint for community activism from the national policy-making level as exemplified by President Obama to the street level as exemplified by activists from Malcolm X to Cesar Chavez. They all figure prominently in Ertll's narrative. Ertll's book is a must read for anyone who seeks to understand, and better yet, become a positive change maker in their community."--Earl Ofari Hutchinson (political analyst and author of The Latino Challenge to Black America: Towards a Conversation Between African Americans and Hispanics) -- "Ertll provides a concrete roadmap of events, organizations, and people, a map that he has developed over the past twenty years of active involvement in Los Angeles community life."-- David E.

Too many organizations today play follow the leader: the commander articulates a “vision” and people uncritically go along with it. But this type of leadership—what Dean Williams calls "counterfeit leadership"—generates an unhealthy dependence on an authority figure and relies on dominance, control, and group seduction to get things done. By hampering people's ability to anticipate and react to changing circumstances, it creates a self-limiting cycle. And if the leader's vision is flawed, the entire organization suffers. The true task of a leader, Williams argues, is to get people to face the reality of any situation themselves and develop strategies to deal with problems or take advantage of opportunities. Real leaders don't dictate; they help people face their challenges and make adjustments in their values, habits, practices, and priorities to ensure the enterprise is given its best chance to succeed. Williams details how to apply this new approach to the challenges every organization or community faces. Throughout, he demonstrates the practical application of real leadership in the real world through examples from his own experiences working with organizations as diverse as the government of Singapore, Aetna Life and Casualty, and the nomadic Penan tribe in Borneo, as well as historical examples and the insights gleaned from his many interviews with presidents, prime ministers, and business leaders. At a time when so many “visionary” leaders have led their organizations to disaster, Real Leadership offers a needed, proven alternative.

Student activists have been an historic driver of higher education social justice reform. While this form of leadership is central to improving equity outcomes in higher education, scholars and practitioners often view organizational change as a top-down process centering senior administrators, staff, and faculty. Empowering student activists as more than token stakeholders in organizational transformation processes supports social justice outcomes, as well as broader institutional goals, vis- -vis promoting civic engagement, leadership development, and knowledge production. Efforts to strengthen this type of student leadership require institutional resources that are supportive of activist leadership development, and administrative efforts to facilitate student activist's engagement in institutional change processes. This dissertation study is an institutional ethnography of the Bruin Excellence & Student Transformation Grant Program (BEST), a student activist leadership development program at the University of California, Los Angeles that sought to develop and empower student activist leaders. Specifically, the institutional ethnography utilizes autoethnography, centering my experiences as co-founder and leader of BEST, to explore the history, conceptualization, evolution, and impact of BEST in fostering student leadership and campus transformation. Using personal narrative to tell the story of the program, this research triangulates autoethnographic research with qualitative and quantitative data collected by the program from 2016-2020. This narrative explores how leadership development programs can center student activist leadership growth and uncover the complex ways students engage in leadership to support equitable campus changes. Findings from the study contextualize the challenges and opportunities of activist leadership development programs within the often-antagonistic environment of a top tier public university. Institutional infighting over diversity resources and structural barriers such as funding and inconsistent administrative support pose an obstacle to impactful social justice initiatives. Further, leadership development programs working with activist students must seek to develop trusting relationships based on mutuality, socioemotional support, and an authentic commitment to social justice principles and practices. Findings from this research will necessitate the expansion of equitable policies and resources that support and affirm student activist leaders within higher education institutions.

Why are some civic associations better than others at getting--and keeping--people involved in activism? From MoveOn.org to the National Rifle Association, Health Care for America Now to the Sierra Club, membership-based civic associations constantly seek to engage people in civic and political action. What makes some more effective than others? Using in-person observations, surveys, and field experiments, this book compares organizations with strong records of engaging people in health and environmental politics to those with weaker records. To build power, civic associations need quality and quantity (or depth and breadth) of activism. They need lots of people to take action and also a cadre of leaders to develop and execute that activity. Yet, models for how to develop activists and leaders are not necessarily transparent. This book provides these models to help associations build the power they want and support a healthy democracy. In particular, the book examines organizing, mobilizing, and lone wolf models of engagement and shows how highly active associations blend mobilizing and organizing to transform their members' motivations and capacities for involvement. This is not a simple story about the power of offline versus online organizing. Instead, it is a story about how associations can blend both online and offline strategies to build their activist base. In this compelling book, Hahrie Han explains how civic associations can invest in their members and build the capacity they need to inspire action.

Activist and public relations thought leader David Fenton shares lessons on how to organize successful media campaigns, cultivated from more than half a century working within some of history’s most impactful social movements. In an extraordinary career David Fenton has learned first-hand what to do—and not to do—to propel progressive causes into the public eye and create real, impactful, lasting change. A visionary activist, Fenton has been the driving force behind some of the most important and history-making campaigns of the last 50 years, from the No-Nukes concerts with Bruce Springsteen in 1979, to the campaigns to free Nelson Mandela and end apartheid in the late 1980s, exposing the dangers of toxic chemicals in our food, the long battle to legalize marijuana and end racist drug laws, the misinformation in Washington during the Bush era in the 2000s, and recent campaigns that successfully banned fracking in New York and alerted the public to the climate crisis, including the environmental impact of Bitcoin. Reflecting on his life, with tales of living in a commune, photographing riots and rock stars, working at Rolling Stone and High Times magazines rabble-rousing with Abbie Hoffman, and collaborating with presidents and celebrities, David tells the fascinating story of how he developed the strategies and tactics that have made him a successful media agitator. David then shows how these tools can be used by anyone to advance their cause. Part rollercoaster memoir, part practical guide, The Activist's Media Handbook provides an essential toolkit for today’s activists for organizing to win: how to tell your story, captivate audiences, and inspire them to join the cause.
