Praise

“This fine book is both optimistic and realistic. It makes two important points: America is still capable of constant renewal and world leadership. To do that, we need innovative, competent, principled leadership in government, business, and civil society. Then she tells us how to do it!”
—Bill Clinton

Rosabeth Moss Kanter is not only a Harvard professor with a capacious mind, she is also a leader with a noble heart. Here she brings both to bear in thinking through our current troubles as a people and how to fix them. America the Principled is brimming with smart ideas and every presidential candidate should read this book If we did only half of them, the country would get back on a winning streak – and be a lot happier, too!"
David Gergen, editor-at-large, U.S. News & World Report and White House counselor to four U.S. presidents
