THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER from the author of OUR TIME IS NOW
"Abrams's
own grit, coupled with her descriptions of much stumbling and
self-doubt, will...touch you in a way few books by politicians can." ―The New York Times
PRAISE FOR STACEY ABRAMS
"In
a time when too many folks are focused simply on how to win an
election, Stacey’s somebody who cares about something more important:
why we should. That’s the kind of politics we should practice. That’s
why I’m proud to give Stacey Abrams my support." President Barack Obama
National leader Stacey Abrams has written the guide to harnessing the strengths of being an outsider and succeeding anyway.
Leadership
is hard. Convincing others―and yourself―that you are capable of taking
charge and achieving more requires insight and courage. Lead from the Outside is the
handbook for outsiders, written with an eye toward the challenges that
hinder women, people of color, the working class, members of the LGBTQ
community, and millennials ready to make change. Stacey uses her
hard-won insights to break down how ambition, fear, money, and failure
function in leadership, and she includes practical exercises to help you
realize your own ambition and hone your skills. Lead from the Outside
discusses candidly what Stacey has learned over the course of her
impressive career in politics, business and the nonprofit world: that
differences in race, gender, and class provide vital strength, which we
can employ to rise to the top and create real and lasting change.
