Leaders make decisions with real consequences that are not just local but national and even global - they impact not just the bottom line but matters of intense importance; decisions with environmental, economic, societal and moral implications.The reality of leadership in times of uncertainty and risk placesan unprecedented challenge at the door of today's generation of organizational leaders. Leaders often feel locked into pursuing sustained growth, endless increases in financial returns, regardless ofcontextual factors - and in many cases they have less resources, more employee difficulties, highercustomer expectations, new technologies to navigate and innovation to deliver. Consequently all over the globe leaders are waking up each day feeling overwhelmed and weighed down by responsibility - tryingto brush off that nagging feeling that they are leaving a legacy they will feelashamed of and that their children won't thank them for. It doesn't have to be this way. The book will bring together the latest academic research on Purpose-Driven Organisations and their role in building a Wellbeing Economy, combined with practical knowledge and experience about how to translate and apply theory into action to align organisations with society and sustainability. It asks critical questions, shares inspirational stories, and outlines a radical approach for leaders to find answers that will create a better tomorrow. As such it is a practical, inspirational and coherent roadmap to sustainable, profitable and positive leadership, custom tailored to meet the needs of the world we want.
