igniting movements
Igniting Movements draws upon historical movements and movement theory, interviews with the executive leadership of today’s most exciting global nonprofits, real world experience leading humanitarian operations, and a career as a decorated special operations officer in the United States military. “Hope, drive, and faith are not alone enough to spark a global movement. Visionary leadership, a shared cohesive ideology, effective organizational structure, and powerful strategic messaging—these are the “Four Pillars” around which effective movements are built and real positive change is made. In Igniting Movements author and decorated Special Ops officer Damon Friedman provides a model using these pillars for building effective movements and inspiring people to come together under a singular vision to make the world a better place.”
