  "Using stories and examples, David Moinina Sengeh presents seven principles for radical inclusion that are AS ACTIONABLE AS THEY ARE POWERFUL." ―Brené BrownFrom an inspiring young global leader—"A MASTER CLASS IN INNOVATION" (Kwame Alexander) for anyone who wants to make the world a better place.The first title from Melinda French Gates’s Moment of Lift BooksAs the newly appointed minister of education in Sierra Leone, David Moinina Sengeh assumed that the administration he served—not to mention his family and friends—shared his conviction that all girls belong in the classroom. He was shocked to learn that many of those closest to him, including a member of his own family, were against lifting a long-standing policy banning pregnant girls from school.Radical Inclusion is the dramatic narrative of Sengeh’s drive to guarantee pregnant girls’ right to an education. His story functions as a parable that can help us all advocate for change by reimagining the systems that perpetuate exclusion.The specifics of his efforts in Sierra Leone are captivating, and the lessons Sengeh shares are universal. In addition to the candid account of his quest for reform, he offers stories and perspective from other parts of his life, drawing on his experiences encountering racial profiling as a Harvard student, developing cutting-edge prosthetic limbs at MIT, and working to combat algorithmic bias as a data scientist.Sengeh offers listners a road map for pursuing radical inclusion in their own lives and work—from identifying exclusions, to building coalitions and adapting to a new normal. His audiobook is essential reading for modern leaders or anyone who hopes to help unleash the power of a world that is truly, radically inclusive.A Macmillan Audio production from Flatiron Books.

  The Stepped Approach: Onboard Better, Systemize Smarter, and Bring Out the Best in Your Sales TeamIt is a mystery why sales leaders are often thrown into their positions without a clue as to how to go about guiding a sales team. In most professions, training is a requirement, but many times sales leaders are simply hired with the expectation that they intrinsically know how to motivate and encourage a team. Most often this is not the case and author Dionne Mejer has spent the last several decades training sales leaders how to effectively lead using a simple-to-follow stepped approach that consistently gives great results.  In The Stepped Approach: Onboard Better, Systemize Smarter, and Bring Out the Best in Your Sales Team, Dionne lays out a simple but effective system that will have your sales team buzzing with productivity, team spirit, and positivity. She holds nothing back when sharing a system that she has proven to be highly effective and manageable. Using worksheets, scorecards, and accountability activities, sales leaders are taught not only how to bring out the best in their teams, but to use what they’ve learned to become great all-around leaders both in their professional and personal lives.

  Redesigning Leadership

  When designer and computer scientist John Maeda was tapped to be president of the celebrated Rhode Island School of Design in 2008, he had to learn how to be a leader quickly. He had to transform himself from a tenured professor-with a love of argument for argument's sake and the freedom to experiment-into the head of a hierarchical organization. The professor is free to speak his mind against "the man." The college president is "the man." Maeda has had to teach himself, through trial and error, about leadership. In Redesigning Leadership, he shares his learning process. 
  Maeda, writing as an artist and designer, a technologist, and a professor, discusses intuition and risk-taking, "transparency," and all the things that a conversation can do that an email can't. In his transition from MIT to RISD he finds that the most effective way to pull people together is not social networking but free food. Leading a team? The best way for a leader to leverage the collective power of a team is to reveal his or her own humanity. 
  Asked if he has stopped designing, Maeda replied (via Twitter), "I'm designing how to talk about/with/for our #RISD community." Maeda's creative nature makes him a different sort of leader-one who prizes experimentation, honest critique, and learning as you go. With Redesigning Leadership, he uses his experience to reveal a new model of leadership for the next generation of leaders.
