Author Jacqueline Novogratz, founder and CEO of Acumen, discussed her new book, Manifesto for a Moral Revolution: Practices to Build a Better World, with moderator Shaiza Rizavi ’96, managing member and portfolio manager at Gilder Gagnon Howe & Co. LLC. Drawing on inspiring stories from change-makers around the world and on memories of her own most difficult experiences, Jacqueline divulged the most common leadership mistakes and the mindsets needed to rise above them. The culmination of thirty years of work developing sustainable solutions for the problems of the poor, Manifesto for a Moral Revolution offers the perspectives necessary for all those — whether ascending the corporate ladder, solving inequity across key systems in the United States, or bringing solar light to rural villages — who seek to leave this world better off than they found it.
About the Social Impact Webinar Series:
This webinar series was designed to engage the social enterprise community during New York's Shelter in Place recommendation. Our intention is to continue to disseminate best practices for the social enterprise sector, as well as discuss the pressing social and environmental challenges resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic to ensure vulnerable and marginalized community needs are still addressed. All webinars will be recorded and shared on the center's COVID-19 Relief and Response webpage, www.gsb.columbia.edu/socialenterprise/covid-response.
