Rezensionen

"The concept of the good ancestor asks how we want our grandchildren's children to regard us - what was the legacy we left to them? Leaders, in every sphere of life, have the responsibility to be good ancestors and that in today's world means leading in the context of climate change. In this book, they will find more than exhortation to do the right thing - they will find practical examples of how to lead on climate change. This book is essential reading for any leader wanting to make his or her great-grandchildren proud of them!"

Professor David Clutterbuck, Special Ambassador, European Mentoring and Coaching Council; visiting professor, Henley Business School; Distinguished Research Fellow, The Conference Board

"The climate crisis calls for leadership from all of us, meaning we have to get to the edge of our comfort zone and then take one more step. This handbook has something for every leader to support their courage in navigating the unknown, whether by understanding their own cognitive biases or learning how to become a leader of systemic change beyond their own organisation, setting science-based targets or seeing the world as a complex adaptive system."

Nigel Topping, UN Climate Change High Level Climate Champion, COP26

"There is no more urgent question - in the face of a deranged neoliberal technocracy that sometimes seems to have rendered all alternative arrangements unthinkable - than how to find forms of governance and leadership for a world society that can cope with an unprecedented threat to humanity. The chapters in the present volume give grounds for hope that an answer can be found."

Professor Richard Little, Visiting Professor, WSB University Warsaw, and Professor of Sustainability Leadership at Initiative for Leadership & Sustainability, University of Cumbria, UK

"The interface of climate change and corporate leadership is crucial. This handbook brings together the best thinkers of our time. The volume is a must read for academics and corporate leaders in the field of sustainability."

Professor Robert E. Quinn, Cofounder of the Center for Positive Organizations, University of Michigan Ross School of Business

"Leadership matters, but ever more so when the leader and led are faced with an enormous crisis. Climate change is such a crisis, and one that requires great leadership to avoid catastrophe. This volume calls on experts across multiple disciplines to help leaders navigate the climate crisis."

Ronald E. Riggio, Ph.D., Henry R. Kravis Professor of Leadership and Organizational Psychology, Claremont McKenna College


"We have all the technology, finance and regulatory tools we need to solve for climate change. The only thing stopping us is an effective grasp of psychology and communications. Leadership, delivered differently, is the only way we will make meaningful progress. This book is a critical guide to making this become a reality."

John O'Brien, Managing Director, Sustainability & Climate, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu
