“This is a classic! Going Public is an engaging, informative, and entertaining book with a message for all who are called on to organize to make a difference, whether in their community or their company.  These insights from a consummate organizer are both a ‘how to’ and ‘why to’ primer for anyone who wants to have an impact.” —Tom Wheeler, author of Take Command: Leadership Lessons from the Civil War
