Shah, president of the Rockefeller Foundation and former administrator of President Barack Obama's United States Agency for International Development, shares a dynamic new model for creating large scale change, inspired by his own involvements with some of the largest humanitarian projects of our time.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRajiv J. Shah is no stranger to pulling off the impossible, from helping vaccinate 900 million children at the Bill \u0026amp; Melinda Gates Foundation to a high-pressure race against the clock to stop the spread of Ebola. His secret? A big bets philosophy--the idea that seeking to solve problems rather than make incremental improvements can attract the unlikely partners with the power and know-how to achieve transformational change. Part career sweeping memoir, part inspirational playbook, \u003ci\u003eBig Bets\u003c\/i\u003e offers a master class in decision-making, leadership, and changing the world one bet at a time. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eShah animates his strategic insights with vivid behind-the-scenes stories, memorable conversations with household names that helped shape his approach to creating change, and his own personal growth as an Indian-American from an immigrant family looking for a way to belong. He distills his battle-tested strategies for creating change, arguing that big bets have a surprising advantage over cautious ones: a bold vision can attract support, collaborations, and fresh ideas from key players who might otherwise be resistant. Throughout the book, Shah traces his unlikely path to the Rockefeller Foundation across a changing world and through some of the most ambitious, dramatic global efforts to create a better world.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"27th Letter Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44069451235373,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0673\/3588\/0749\/files\/original_42401dcb-5fb4-405f-9bbb-cef35de3c4fa.jpg?v=1763981443","url":"https:\/\/27thletterbooks.com\/products\/big-bets-how-large-scale-change-really-happens","provider":"27th Letter Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
