When Sally asked me to write this foreword, I was both challenged and excited. I am excited because, in my opinion, Sally is one of those extraordinary people you only get to meet a few times in your life. That's saying something: my business, Thought Leaders, means I get to spend an inordinate amount of time around people who are truly inspiring and making a difference. No doubt Sally's backstory is point of difference enough - anyone who has been thrown the life lessons and dramatic experiences she has would be someone worth listening to - and yet that's not her greatest asset. Sally has taken a life's worth of experience and added a life's worth of learning and teaching the idea of rigorous self-responsibility.Sally is a powerful creator and, as such, the perfect person to write a book about the co-creative age. This book should read like a codebook for hacking the future. It's rich and it's layered. The equanimous leader concept alone is an idea that should cause deep meditation and reflection in any leader who is exposed to it.In Mahayana Buddhism, bodhisattva is the Sanskrit term for anyone who, motivated by great compassion, has generated bodhicitta, which is a spontaneous wish to attain buddhahood for the benefit of all sentient beings. Reading this book I feel like that Sally is a modern-day bodhisattva, a rare soul who pauses on her journey to enlightenment to ferry others across the river of consciousness.The Co-Creative Age unpacks a theologically agnostic view for creating companies and cultures we would all be happy living and working in. The ideas within this book are accessible to the agnostic, atheist and extremist. I was a fan of Sally's first book Freefall - Living Life Beyond The Edge, and am happy to say even more so one of this book. It just might be Sally's life opus. That said, I have learnt that - WOW - is never a full stop with Sally. So don't read this book - absorb it. To elevate consciousness on the planet is the greatest and most worthy job any teacher can undertake.Matt Church, Author of Amplifiers: The Power of Motivational Leadership to Inspire

"There are millions of boards of directors for small nonprofits or small businesses-yet, introductory materials for new board members are hard to find and not always right for the task. The IRS requires every nonprofit and most corporations to have a board, and we know millions of helpful citizens join local charities and social ventures to provide help and support. Yet most books on board governance are highly technical and seem better suited to the Fortune 500. For the first time, a book uses the simple idea of "table manners" to make board culture easy to understand and practice for new board members. With a special emphasis on diversity and inclusion, the authors of this new book provide simple tools to make all organizations work better through board work"--

The book brings together perspectives on entrepreneurship research, education and practice to understand social entrepreneurship in its wider societal, political and economic context. Its unique contribution comes from its interdisciplinary approach that spans from the societal to the organizational level, with specific focus social innovation and management. It views management of social entrepreneurship and social enterprise in light of its societal context and employs social innovation to critically assess social entrepreneurship as driver of change. The emergence of social entrepreneurship as an academic field is linked to several societal trends such as public austerity, financial crises, new social challenges and a growing counter-movement to globalised capitalism. Generally seen as organisations serving both social and economic objectives, social enterprises, social innovation and social entrepreneurship have their roots in civil society, civic activism or the solidarityeconomy, but also manifest themselves as for-profit companies, with new organisational forms emerging and old ones changing. The contributions in this book elucidate these developments and the role of social entrepreneurs and social enterprises. Furthermore, the book offers great insight into the specific ways of managing, leading and creating innovation in social enterprises as well as perspectives on how to understand their social impact or value creation.
