There are no easy answers.
But there are tools.

THE TOOLBOX

"In The Toolbox, Jacob Harold reimagines the discipline of social change strategy. This is a book with both rigor and hope; it's rooted in experience and brought alive by poetry. Anyone who cares about building a better world—corporate executives, government officials, community volunteers, nonprofit leaders—will find insights and inspiration in these pages. If all you have is a hammer, get The Toolbox."
