Civic Revolutionaries offers a practical guide for renewing
the great American tradition of spirited, breakthrough community
leadership. By their very nature, revolutionary leaders help their
communities reconcile the competing values on which our nation was
built: individualism and community, freedom and responsibility,
trust and accountability, economy and society. Like the Founders,
today's civic revolutionaries are extraordinary leaders who are
deeply committed to place, not just to specific issues or
constituencies. They provide the vital spark, inspiring others who
must ultimately own the revolution if it is to be successful.
Written for leaders in business, government, education, and
community, Civic Revolutionaries features practical guidance
and in-depth case studies from communities across the country. The
book provides tested advice to both new and seasoned leaders and
draws essential lessons from the American revolutionary tradition
to demonstrate how to become an effective leader within the
community.
