Acumen:  Sharpness.  The ability to get right to the point, to the heart of the matter.

Acumen is something Jaqueline Novogratz obviously has in spades, because she realises that the people at the bottom of the pile have it too.

Bottom up, ripple out.  That’s the way to do it.

No need for you to be there.
