Everyone Leads

Everyone Leads (2011) turns the leadership conversation on its head, asserting that the corner office isn't the only place for leaders. It paints a world where leadership is an action sport, open to all, from boardroom bigwigs to the unsung heroes in the break room. This narrative is a rally cry for every closet leader to step into the light, harnessing the power of collaboration and shared goals, regardless of their place on the organizational chart.

• Changemakers seeking grassroots impact
• Aspiring leaders currently upskilling themselves
• Social innovators hungry for inspiration

Paul Schmitz, author of Everyone Leads and a maestro of community-driven change, juggles roles as a leadership whisperer at The Collective Impact Forum and as CEO of Leading Inside Out. His résumé sparkles with a presidential nod for his work on The White House Council for Community Solutions, a stint as the inaugural Innovator in Residence at Georgetown, and recognition as a nonprofit rockstar, hailed by The Nonprofit Times not once, but thrice, as one of America's most influential nonprofit leaders. With a pen in one hand and a vision for grassroots leadership in the other, Schmitz is a true maestro in orchestrating social impact.
