Through her experiences as president of Run for Something and interviews with millennial and Gen Z leaders, Litman reveals a seismic shift in the way young people think about power and responsibility. This book is significant not only for its insightful analysis of the challenges facing emerging leaders but also for its thoughtful consideration of the cultural and philosophical implications of their rise.
