Overview
From Amanda Litman, cofounder of Run for Something, “a refreshingly candid, delightfully irreverent guide to leadership for the next generation.” ―Adam Grant
When We’re in Charge is a no-bullshit guide for the next generation of leaders on how to show up differently, break the cycle of bad Boomer leadership, and navigate the changing demands of those in power and the evolving expectations people have of their workplace.
Based on Amanda Litman’s experience as a founder and executive (and mom of two who’s trying desperately to have a life outside of work), and informed by conversations with more than 100 next-gen leaders across politics, business, media, tech, education, and more—including Versha Sharma, former editor-in-chief of Teen Vogue; Maxwell Frost, the first Gen Z member of Congress; and Evan Spiegel, CEO of Snap Inc—this book is a vital resource for new leaders trying to figure out how to get stuff done without making your team or yourself miserable.
When We’re in Charge offers solutions for sticky challenges:
- How to be yourself without giving your full self to your role
- How to think about social media when your team sees what you post
- How to set up guardrails for work-life balance
