Summary: | Cases presented in this volume highlight the need for innovative leadership development if young worker/activists are to prepare for leadership roles in established institutions that are facing radical economic and workforce changes. Focusing on one successful program in New York, the authors discuss the theoretical underpinnings, development, and outcomes of a multiunion, multisector program, noting its impact on the regional labor movement and analyzing key factors accounting for the program’s successful development of innovative-minded young leaders. The authors examine its usefulness in building inclusion and solidarity across dimensions of difference, including age, race, gender, ethnicity, sector, ableness, education level, industry, and more. © The Author(s) 2018.
