A Guide To Human Citizenship

A Guide To Human Citizenship: The ALF Way

Eight principles of exceptional living from the American Leadership Forum Silicon Valley network

American Leadership Forum Silicon Valley is proud to announce the publication of our new book, A Guide to Human Citizenship: The ALF Way, now on sale.

In a time of unprecedented division and disruption, A Guide To Human Citizenship offers valuable principles of exceptional living—from practicing dialogue across differences to radical forgiveness inspired by the experiences and insights gained from working with more than 800 ALF Fellows Program graduates over 37 years. The book is both a reflection of empowered individuals and a call to action for anyone seeking to foster equitable and thriving communities, regardless of their professional background.

The book is the brainchild of Senior Fellow and former ALF Silicon Valley CEO Suzanne St. John-Crane and has been in development since 2020. Suzanne writes, “We invite readers to engage with each of these eight principles, which may be common sense but are definitely not common practice.. If we’re to emerge from the current polycrisis as an evolved, healthy society, we have to get back to the basics and lead with love.”

Story contributors include a highly diverse cross-section of Senior Fellows—from Former DocuSign CEO Keith Krach, to Workday’s Chief Diversity Officer Carin Taylor, and South Bay Creative Catalyst Demone Carter, illustrating these principles in action and demonstrating how mindful human citizenship can regenerate social cohesion in a polarized world.

Our hope is that these tenets, stories, and invitations teach and inspire you to navigate the speed and depth of disruption we are all experiencing, in order to co-create equitable and thriving communities.
