Everyday Habits for Transforming Systems: The Catalytic Power of Radical Engagement

＂Adam Kahane’s Everyday Habits of Systems Transformers offers a set of straightforward, high-leverage everyday personal practices that are explicitly linked to transforming larger social systems. More and more people are coming to understand that the way the world is designed isn’t working for most, and they can neither ignore this reality nor change it just through acting on their own. Systemic transformation, rather than just individual leadership or personal growth practices, is necessary to create a better world. What practices enable leaders to transform systems? This book aims to inspire and instruct the reader on practical, day-to-day ways to work more effectively with others across deep political, economic, social, cultural, and sectoral differences to transform social systems. Incorporating real stories, it is suspenseful and human, full of trial and error, failure as well as success, in pursuit of a better world＂--
