About this listen

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.
