Emergent
If you can change education, you can change the world Edupreneur gives teachers the "how." You already know what needs to be done to improve education, but you may lack the support and processes to bring it to life—and that's where this book comes in. You'll walk through the four stages of innovation—dreaming, digging, making and sharing—and learn how to unleash ground-shaking change from the classroom up. Straightforward, highly practical and kick-in-the-pants inspirational, this book is your new companion for making education work. You'll read about passionate teachers who have raised attendance from 40% to 90%; you'll read about principals who took on the worst-performing schools and turned them around; you'll read about leaders who had the courage to take the reins of a school and turn it from good to great—and you'll learn how they did it and how you're entirely capable of the same kind of revolutionary change. This is a book not just for challenging schools, but for all educators who are passionate about providing a great education for every student, every day. Administrators, academics and politicians can debate endlessly about how to "fix our schools," ignoring the fact that their best innovators and catalysts of change are already right there in the classroom. You have plenty of ideas, so here's your license to make them happen. Edupreneur will help teachers in all schools to: Identify ways to improve day-to-day practice Overcome the challenges that hamper progress Create new solutions that sidestep old roadblocks Collaborate with similarly forward-thinking educators Imagine what education could look like if teachers were practically equipped to bring exciting new ideas to the classroom every day. Edupreneur helps you be that kind of teacher you've always wanted to be, with a clear framework for truly bringing on the change.

In Emergent, Stephen Scott Johnson sets a flag in the sand, a mark, if you like, for how we achieve great things, not so much by being great but rather creating the conditions for greatness to emerge. The new role for the human factor is perhaps the oldest of all: to mobilise people in pursuit of a better future. This book is a great start in that direction.
Matt Church, Chairman and Founder, Thought Leaders
Australia’s leading thinker on creating and sustaining movements, Stephen Scott Johnson, has turned his attention to how companies can transform cultures, and the result is profound. Emergent is a game changer for organisations looking to transform their results through real culture change.
Peter Cook, CEO, Thought Leaders and author of The New Rules of Management
In Stephen Scott Johnson’s hands, the words change, culture and purpose become far more than corporate buzzwords, they are revealed as the keys to not only navigating the future, but of creating it also.
Dan Gregory, Co-Founder and CEO, The Impossible Institute
In a world where organisational purpose risks becoming a catchcry, Stephen’s CATALYST system offered our business the insight, clarity and direction we needed to truly co-create value and meaning with our people. The opportunity to create a movement rather than deliver another top down communications campaign affords an important step change for leaders and communicators alike. For us, the change in approach was not without its challenges, however, the CATALYST system offered profound support and guidance. A movement feels different from inception. It requires leaders and communicators to let go and trust that their people can create shared meaning. When delivered properly, the result is enticing – an organisation where its people can self-sustain a shared truth, a true purpose and grow together.
Rebekah Miles, Head of Communications, Sanofi Australia and New Zealand
Emergent is a collision of contemporary thinking and ancient wisdom brought together in a practical narrative with confronting tools to support your journey to evolve your leadership and organisation.
Will Noble, Managing Director, Human Systems Companies
In a world where organisations are paralysed by complexity and cultures of fear, Emergent offers a roadmap for collaboration, co-creation and most importantly purpose-driven communities.
Simon Talbot, former CEO, National Farmers Federation
