When Everyone Leads: How The Toughest Challenges Get Seen and Solved
The ONE Book Bard Press Will Publish in 2022!
In When Everyone Leads, Ed O’Malley and Julia Fabris McBride propose a very different version of leadership—leadership as an activity, not authority or position. That means everyone can lead. This is the kind of leadership that is needed to solve the toughest, seemingly unsolvable challenges that face our organizations, our communities, and our families.

“The [Kansas Leadership Center] teaches people how to create social change and hopes to saturate the state with better leaders. But the center doesn’t focus on traditional “leaders.” Its mantra is: “Leadership is an activity, not a position. Anyone can lead, anytime, anywhere.” The atmosphere is one of radical inclusion. The enrollees I met included business leaders, teachers, line workers and people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
The center equips people at every level of society with organizational skills — for example, to understand when it is necessary to turn up the heat to force change, and when it is necessary to turn down the heat to encourage reconciliation.”
