    About this audiobook

    *This program was previously published as Lead from the Outside . This updated edition includes a new preface written and read by Stacey Abrams.*

    "Abrams's own grit, coupled with her descriptions of much stumbling and self-doubt, will make [Lead from the Outside] touch you in a way few books by politicians can." — The New York Times

    National leader Stacey Abrams has written the guide to harnessing the strengths of being an outsider and succeeding anyway.

    Leadership is hard. Convincing others—and yourself—that you are capable of taking charge and achieving more requires insight and courage. Lead from the Outside is the handbook for outsiders, written with an eye toward the challenges that hinder women, people of color, the working class, members of the LGBTQ community, and millennials ready to make change.

    Stacey uses her hard-won insights to break down how ambition, fear, money, and failure function in leadership, and she includes practical exercises to help you realize your own ambition and hone your skills. Lead from the Outside discusses candidly what Stacey has learned over the course of her impressive career in politics, business and the nonprofit world: that differences in race, gender, and class provide vital strength, which we can employ to rise to the top and create real and lasting change.

    Editor's Note

    At the polls…

    Georgia's gubernatorial race was one of the most closely-watched elections this year. Stacey Abrams’ inspiring memoir of the path she took to come so close to being America's first black female governor dives into why this election touched so many across the country.

      Rep. Abrams is insightful and frank in Minority Leader about the challenges faced by people with minority status when fighting for their community and seeking leadership. This book was helpful in guiding my experience and the choices in my future path. I look forward to her tenure as President Abrams.

      Covers so many topics conventional leadership books don’t such as financial literacy, family obligations and self-care. Written for historically marginalized people, but lessons for everyone.
