Reflections.  aThis book focuses on what it means to take up leadership for sustainability, from a variety of organisational and social positions, and considers the consequences of different strategies and practices for influencing change. Whatever form it takes, organisational sustainability programmes need committed, intelligent, reflective leadership at all levels to make them work. The examples in this book show how people in very different contexts have seized the opportunities open to them and acted with courage and initiative to make a difference. This book will be relevant to a wide range of people, including managers, consultants, and others in commercial, non-profit, public and intergovernmental organisations who want to contribute to the development of a sustainable world. It will be of particular interest to people working in organisations already thinking about issues of sustainability and those who are seeking to take on the role of change agents in organizations or communities. -- taken from back cover.  aElectronic reproduction.bPalo Alto, Calif. :cebrary,d2013.nAvailable via World Wide Web.nAccess may be limited to ebrary affiliated libraries. 0aSocial responsibility of business. 0aAssociations, institutions, etc.xEnvironmental aspects. 0aCorporationsxEnvironmental aspects. 0aIndustriesxEnvironmental aspects. 0aSustainability. 0aLeadership. 7aElectronic books.2local1 aMarshall, Judi.1 aColeman, Gill,d1954-1 aReason, Peter.2 aebrary, Inc.40uhttp://site.ebrary.com/lib/rucke/Doc?id=10650131zAn electronic book accessible through the World Wide Web; click to view  c74759d74759
