Summary

If you want to be a successful leader in today’s business world, you need to think like an activist.

This urgent and essential audiobook 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 audiobook. 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 audiobook shows that thinking like an activist can have a transformative impact – for yourself, for your businesses, and for broader society.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Critic reviews

The Activist Leader blends inspiring examples of business transformation with pragmatism and helps the reader understand the changes we are witnessing in the C-suite. This is activism unleashed; more needed’
Judy Samuelson, Founder and Executive Director of the Aspen Institute Business and Society Program

‘The importance of the message of this book, the clarity with which it is delivered, and its value for business could not be greater. This is a profoundly significant book for business leaders around the world and for the world they inhabit. They should all read and learn from it for the sake of us, them and their investors’ Professor Colin Mayer, Emeritus Professor of Management Studies, Said Business School and Blavatnik School of Government, University of Oxford

‘The trend is clear: activist leadership and corporate advocacy are racing up the business agenda. System change is coming–and the real question is whether you want to fight for the past or for the future’ John Elkington, Founder & Chief Pollinator, Volans, and author of Green Swans: The Coming Boom in Regenerative Capitalism

Enlightening, relevant, urgent

This book is essential reading for anyone interested in bringing about positive change to society. Sensitive but realistic, inspiring but grounded in the practical; real insights, real inspiration. Real case studies, relevant to our world today. Every chapter builds on the last- it’s really not to miss. Who wouldn’t want to learn about how to lead, how to engage, how to take the challenges and make them strengths? A modern classic.
