Paul Shoemaker

About

Taking Charge of Change speaks to a powerful truth: Each of us does not have to passively let change happen to us. We can each be a leader, a Rebuilder, that shapes and creates the kind of change we want to see in the world. We can be an active positive force in leading how it will play out in the decade ahead for our communities, companies, and citizens

The social, economic and health challenges facing us in the 2020’s are radically different than those we faced even one generation ago. Meet the new leaders, Rebuilders, who are moving us forward and learn how to apply their same effectiveness, qualities, and attributes to your own leadership.

The kinds of leadership it has always taken to build American communities and companies are still relevant, but they are not sufficient to define the level and quality of leadership it will take to rebuild an America that has become too uneven and siloed over the last 20 years.
