Donna Zajonc, a leadership coach, and former three-term elected state legislator, asserts that we must adopt a view beyond the traditional two party system; taking note of its inherent flaws. In, The Politics of Hope: Reviving the Dream of Democracy, she directly confronts the rising prevalence of disenchantment and cynicism toward the current partisan system. According to Zajonc, the current state of the political arena is a mess. The partisan system only produces a stalemate between parties, a situation where clearly no one wins. Only with conscious public leaders utilizing non-partisan collaborative methods and shared respect, can the traditional system transform its collective positive attributes into one successful whole. With elections coming up, Zajonc offers a unique and refreshing perspective on transforming a deteriorating political system.
In The Politics of Hope, Donna Zajonc inspires us to rejoin the political scene as public leaders, actively participating in the evolution of the rapidly-changing phenomenon we call democracy. Zajonc has made simple food of an elaborate smorgasbord of politics and social theories, offering readers a clear look at where we have been politically and where we must go in the future. She outlines our country’s essential passage from fear to hope in the Four Stages of Political Evolution:
From Stage One Anarchy to Stage Two Traditionalism (the two-party war) we remain polarized and afraid of one another, unable to accomplish our common goals. In Stage Three Political Resignation we stand at the doorway to Stage Four Conscious Public Leadership, of the Politics of Hope. In Stage Four we join the greatest leaders of humanity, by putting we before me. Our political life then reflects the spirit of cooperation, mutual inspiration, and unwavering concern for the collective good.
A political leadership coach who has brought nonpartisan awareness and clarity to a wide variety of candidates for public office, Zajonc’s The Politics of Hope offers Seven Practices for Becoming a Conscious Public Leader, providing ordinary citizens as well as public servants with a firm foundation for action in this time of global change.
