Product Description
Leadership for Sustainability: An Action Research Approach (9781906093594): Judi Marshall, Gill Coleman, Peter Reason: Books. Leadership for Sustainability is dedicated to the memory of Anita Roddick and she would have loved the overarching theme that we must now move faster with the implementation of today s organisational change agenda and, at the same time, work out how to disrupt our economic and business models to reboot capitalism for the 21st century. --John Elkington, Executive Chairman, Volans; co-founder, Environmental Data Services (ENDS) and SustainAbilityThese are front-line stories from the battle to save the planet and they are a testament to the quality of this MSc course. Nothing beats reading about the struggles from so many different situations to understand what it s like and, importantly, how immensely rewarding it can be to navigate the challenges of sustainability and make a difference. As one student described the years following the course, These have been both the best and the worst years of my life. But at least now I know that I am alive. How many courses can you point to where the student comes to understand that how they are determines the effectiveness of what they do. There s no doubt that those who have the courage to take part in this programme, to engage in active research in this messy terrain, learning the skills of the tempered radical, will emerge through their foot-soldiering to become the leaders of tomorrow. Start following their stories now. --Tessa Tennant, Innovator in Sustainable FinanceHow can we can harness the power of leadership to create a more sustainable, inclusive, and just society? Leadership for Sustainability opens a fascinating window into this line of inquiry. It tells the stories of an educational experiment, interweaving first-, second-, and third-person action research to offer insights for the emerging foundations of a 21st-century university and it tells these stories from an authentic first-person view. Highly recommended! --Otto Scharmer, author, Theory U; Senior Lecturer, Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Founding Chair, Presencing Institute Leadership for Sustainability is dedicated to the memory of Anita Roddick and she would have loved the overarching theme that we must now move faster with the implementation of today s organisational change agenda and, at the same time, work out how to disrupt our economic and business models to reboot capitalism for the 21st century. --John Elkington, Executive Chairman, Volans; co-founder, Environmental Data Services (ENDS) and SustainAbility These are front-line stories from the battle to save the planet and they are a testament to the quality of this MSc course.
