Publisher's summary

In From Ideas to Impact, Michael Sheldrick delivers an inspiring and insightful discussion on how to implement social impact by driving policy change.

This book reveals key characteristics of successful policy entrepreneurs—visionaries bridging the gap between promises and real-world outcomes. They are practical implementers who put impact first, resisting the urge to pursue the instant dopamine boost that comes from winning arguments at all costs. They are connectors and networkers who build diverse coalitions and broker win-win solutions to address our current implementation crisis.

From Ideas to Impact features:

- An overview of pressing challenges to avoid, including an obsession with winning arguments at the expense of results and a counterproductive aversion to negotiation.

- An eight-step playbook offering tools to master policy entrepreneurship, foster cooperation, build bridges, and drive policy implementation beyond stagnation, conflict, and polarization.

- Diverse examples spanning historical movements like the Transatlantic Slave Trade and FDR's New Deal to contemporary battles for climate justice, coal community transitions, and grassroots gender equality efforts.

Timely Takeaways for Policy Entrepreneurs

After following Michael Sheldrick's work through Global Citizen for some years now, I attended a From Ideas to Impact: Book Launch and Discussion to learn more about global perspectives on systems change and for updates on the audio release date. True to its title, this is a playbook for influencing and implementing change. The detailed examples read more like case studies and, in some cases, cautionary tales. The insight in the pages of From Ideas to Impact could be useful for action-oriented change agents that need to reboot big picture thinking to solve systemic issues. This work also tee up a team retreat for purpose driven nonprofits and advocates of justice.
