The Thinking Chair by Dr. Frank S. Sarlo

“The Thinking Chair stands as a testament to leadership grounded in wisdom, courage, and an unwavering belief in the possible” Asima Vezina – President and Vice-Chancellor – International Business University.

“The Thinking Chair is a must read for anyone tasked with the challenge of creating positive change. Businesses, organizations, and communities most often succeed when their members are effectively organized to pursue and achieve a common goal. Frank’s remarkable community mobilization experiences give The Thinking Chair its breadth, depth, and persuasive power. Frank not only explains how to achieve community mobilization through utilizing available assets in short time frames. Every chapter also includes practical insights that change makers everywhere can adapt to their own organizational needs. The Thinking Chair is a testament to Frank’s unique talents – a book where authenticity and hard-won experience drive Frank’s message forward.” Bryan Davies – Tagona Press (Sault Ste Marie)

It is our sincere hope that this book for mobilizing the community to create positive change together provides information and advice that will give people confidence to take leadership roles in mobilizations that they believe in and for which they have a passion.

“I witnessed first hand the satisfaction that comes to the many involved in creating positive change together. I often look back and appreciate so many talented people that I worked with and the friendships that were developed, all while working to create positive change together.” Frank

Although Frank’s involvement in mobilizing the community took place in Sault Ste. Marie, the influences and processes outlined in this book will apply anywhere. Understanding your community allows you to mobilize the community, organization or business for the positive change that benefits your community, organization or business whatever it may be.
