Essentials of Social Innovation: Transforming Leadership (eBook) - $16.95

The conundrum of leadership in a sector devoted to making change is that we need good leadership if we are to transform the world, but doing so requires reconceiving and re-imagining leadership itself. Because leading change must be a collective effort, leaders must recognize and address power asymmetries and build collective power, and yet discipline in learning how to lead is no less crucial (or practically necessary). This collection of ten articles published by SSIR over the last two decades, Essentials of Social Innovation: Transforming Leadership, will be indispensable for change-leaders in the 21st century, across a variety of fields of practice, activism, and study.

Essentials of Social Innovation: Scaling (eBook) - $16.95

Scaling is essential to social innovation. Innovative solutions, alone, are not enough: Only by thinking about and at scale can the social sector make good on its commitment to match the level of need. Over the years, SSIR has addressed the question in many ways: What does it mean to scale a solution, to scale a theory or model of change, or to scale impact? How do we scale, and through what different modes: through replication, social franchise models, growing an organization, or simply spreading ideas or principles? Finally, when it comes to the effect of scaling, how can we understand success?

The 11 articles in Essentials of Social Innovation: Scaling are divided between early foundational articles on the theory of scaling, analytical and conceptual advances as the thinking has matured, and a variety of field insights from the frontline. Essentials of Social Innovation: Scaling will be indispensable for leaders of social change imagining how to scale their innovations to meet the need.
