Manifiesto para una revolución moral

In 2001, when Jacqueline Novogratz founded Acumen, a global community dedicated to changing the way poverty is tackled around the world, hardly anyone had heard of impact investing. Twenty years later, the way in which company boards of directors and other economic actors evaluate businesses has radically changed. Impact investing --Acumen's practice of "doing good by doing good"- is not only morally defensible, it is now also economically convenient, even necessary. Still, it is not easy to achieve success that pays off and in which relationships with workers and their communities are mutually supportive. What, then, can today's leaders do, who often start their companies with high hopes and few plans, and find their way through the challenges of poverty and war, egos and impatience? Drawing on stories from people around the world who have made real change and on his own memories of difficult experiences, Novogratz explains what the most common leadership mistakes are and what the mindset needed to overcome them. Manifesto for a Moral Revolution is the culmination of thirty years of work developing sustainable solutions to the problems of the poor. That is why it is an essential perspective for all those who, either rising in a large corporation or bringing solar energy to rural villages, want to leave this world better than they found it.
