Lessons Learned: Stories from a Lifetime of Organizing
IAF organizer and supervisor Arnie Graf tells five substantive stories from his work in San Antonio, Baltimore, Washington DC, Boston, and London that illustrate the "universal principles" of organizing developed by the Industrial Areas Foundation (IAF), including power, self-interest, relational meetings, no permanent allies or enemies, breaking problems into issues, action in the reaction, the positives of tension, training and evaluation, and the necessity of people and their institutions to demand real respect and recognition rather than grudging tolerance in the public arena.

Praise for this book
"Arnie Graf has proven, in wildly different settings, across more than four decades, that he is one of the truly brightest stars of organizing"€"a world class listener, a keen spotter of leadership talent, a subtle and deep trainer, and someone who is fearless and relentless in the arena of public action. If you want to understand how organizing is done at the highest level by a pro's pro, this is the book." -- Mike Gecan "pre-publication"
