In a time of unprecedented division and disruption, A Guide To Human Citizenship offers valuable principles of exceptional living—from practicing dialogue across differences to radical forgiveness inspired by the experiences and insights gained from working with more than 800 American Leadership Forum Silicon Valley Fellows Program graduates over 37 years.
The book is both a reflection of empowered individuals and a call to action for anyone seeking to foster equitable and thriving communities, regardless of their professional background.
A Guide To Human Citizenship is the brainchild of Senior Fellow and former ALF Silicon Valley CEO Suzanne St. John-Crane and has been in development since 2020.
Suzanne writes, “We invite readers to engage with each of these eight principles, which may be common sense but are definitely not common practice. If we’re to emerge from the current polycrisis as an evolved, healthy society, we have to get back to the basics and lead with love.”
