He coined the term “pracademic” in 1989.

"Rubin wrote the book on this stuff" (American Library Association). But even with his international bestseller Collaborative Leadership and his decades of coaching, training, speaking and teaching, the evidence is clear: it hasn't worked!

We're more polarized now than we've been in generations. Mission-driven public leaders is the audience for Hank's dynamic, engaging and practical speeches. His message is not only "WE HAVE TO LEAD BETTER", it’s the title of his new book: a practical toolkit for mission-driven public leaders. Compelling engaged speaking, direct and hard-hitting questions, step-by-step, practical bridge-building for practical leaders.
