Everyone Leads

‘‘In Everyone Leads, Schmitz provides leaders and organizations with innovative ideas about how to make a greater difference in their communities, as he has done with Public Allies.’’ —Sonal Shah, former director, White House Office of Social Innovation and Civic Participation under President Barack Obama ‘‘Grounded in our core American values and informed by current technological and social trends, Everyone Leads makes a powerful call for citizen leadership, with inspiring stories and practical steps we all can take on the issues we care about.’’ —David Eisner, CEO, National Constitution Center, and former CEO, Corporation for National and Community Service under President George W. Bush ‘‘Everyone Leads challenges leaders and organizations to think in new ways about how we lead.
