Recommendation
The challenges the world faces today are particularly complex: They cross boundaries, lack win-win solutions, are dynamic and create uncertainty. But that doesn’t mean they’re intractable, sustainability experts R. Bruce Hull, David P. Robertson and Michael Mortimer report. Wicked problems demand an equally complex and strategic approach to finding solutions. From embracing shared leadership, to anticipating the future strategically, and learning to change course nimbly as circumstances change, the authors’ strategies and examples guide you toward a mind-set and skills for leading the way to a more just, sustainable society and planet.
