About this listen

"An instant classic." (Arianna Huffington)

"Will inspire people from across the political spectrum." (Jonathan Haidt)

An essential shortlist of leadership ideas for everyone who wants to do good in this world, from Jacqueline Novogratz, author of the New York Times best seller The Blue Sweater and founder and CEO of Acumen.

In 2001, when Jacqueline Novogratz founded Acumen, a global community of socially and environmentally responsible partners dedicated to changing the way the world tackles poverty, few had heard of impact investing - Acumen’s practice of “doing well by doing good”. Nineteen years later, there’s been a seismic shift in how corporate boards and other stakeholders evaluate businesses: Impact investment is not only morally defensible, but now also economically advantageous, even necessary.

Still, it isn’t easy to reach a success that includes profits as well as mutually favorable relationships with workers and the communities in which they live. So how can today’s leaders, who often kick off their enterprises with high hopes and short timetables, navigate the challenges of poverty and war, of egos and impatience, which have stymied generations of investors who came before?

Drawing on inspiring stories from change-makers around the world and on memories of her own most difficult experiences, Jacqueline divulges the most common leadership mistakes and the mindsets needed to rise above them. The culmination of 30 years of work developing sustainable solutions for the problems of the poor, Manifesto for a Moral Revolution offers the perspectives necessary for all those - whether ascending the corporate ladder or bringing solar light to rural villages - who seek to leave this world better off than they found it.

Beautiful and eye-opening.

Sooo many great ideas and examples of people building a better world! I couldn't take notes fast enough sometimes, and wanted to listen to several sections more than once, just to let the messages sink in deeper. Beautiful.

A must read for all those who aspire to make a difference!

This book reminds me that it’s not easy but that it’s possible to make a difference. If you are at a place where you need motivation to keep going, listen to this book. After the first few pages, I bought two hard copies. One for me and one for a friend. I will be giving more copies out as gifts. It is by far one of the best books I’ve come across.
