Global Leadership for a Sustainable Future

Global Leadership for a Sustainable Future facilitates a global conversation about sustainability leadership theory and praxis in public and non-profit sectors, where leaders are challenged to manage global crisis, make inclusive public policy, act ethically in global affairs, protect human rights, and adapt to digital disruption.

Focusing on non-Western global leadership perspectives, authors from a variety of disciplines and professional areas, including higher education, government, international development and public policy, bridge the gap between leadership theory and sustainability. Each chapter delves into how global leaders can navigate complex challenges by integrating environmental, social, and economic considerations. By emphasizing the interconnectedness of these domains, the book provides practical insights for leaders who seek to drive positive change while ensuring long-term sustainability.

Equipping leaders to tackle unique regional, cultural, and ecosystem challenges, the authors emphasize equity and inclusion, showing how leaders can empower diverse voices, promote gender equality, and address systemic biases. By focusing on nuanced, culturally sensitive, and inclusive leadership, the book will appeal to those passionate about social justice, equality, and sustainability.
