"There is no cavalry coming to save the day. We are the iconic leaders we have been waiting for."

That's Shawn Dove's mantra–and the through-line of his recent Leadership Learning Series conversation with INP President & CEO Yolanda Coentro. Shawn, co-author of I Too Am America: On Loving and Leading Black Men & Boys and Managing Partner at New Profit Inc., joined Yolanda to talk leadership, collaboration, and lasting change.

New Profit just published four takeaways from that conversation–from finding opportunity in moments of friction to the case for investing in proximate leaders.
