“Both our work and private lives require us to build new institutions or renovate old ones, from launching a business in your home to creating a new corporate division at work, from establishing a local charter school to organizing an athletic club with friends,” notes the publisher. But how does one ensure that all the resources necessary for a successful building project are within reach?

In The Institution Builder’s Toolbox, the author expertly advises readers on how to negotiate each of seven developmental phases necessary to build a robust institution, from articulating a clear vision to securing the resources to make it happen.

Salacuse is dean emeritus and distinguished professor emeritus of the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University. The author of 20 books, he has served as dean of two university graduate schools, president of three national professional organizations, and chair or lead director of 15 companies.
