Emergent Strategy by Adrienne Maree Brown
Why This Book Matters
Emergent Strategy is a visionary guide to change that draws from nature, science fiction, and Black feminist organizing. Adrienne Maree Brown offers a compelling framework for movement-building that centers adaptation, interdependence, and decentralization. She invites us to study the natural world not just for metaphors, but for methodologies.
For nonprofit teams, grassroots organizers, and values-aligned leaders, this book offers tools to shift strategy from rigid planning to responsive, relational practice. It helps reimagine leadership as something collective, rooted in trust and transformation.
Emergent Strategy is especially useful for those designing campaigns, coalitions, or community-based programs that must evolve with the times. It supports teams in letting go of control, embracing iteration, and building cultures of care that can sustain long-term movement work.
