Book Description:
Effective leadership is a formidable weapon and shield for a subjugated people. Regardless of our opponents' resources, we can outthink, outwork and outmaneuver them, and effective leadership is an important part of this winning recipe.
"I have written this book to help provide a basic and comprehensive understanding of community organizing and grassroots leadership to those who genuinely seek it and need it. This book is not a step-by-step leadership manual. Nor is it simply a huge list of leadership dos and don'ts. I combine leadership philosophy and theory, some helpful tips and suggestions about community organizing, and some discussions of how to execute certain important tasks pertaining to leadership and organizing. My hope is that those of you who hold office in a Black organization will require fellow officers and members of your group to read this book and take my upcoming online leadership course as part of your political education/leadership training component."
