Product reviews for Leadership for Sustainability

This book gave me hope, a feeling that the tools outlined have been successfully used elsewhere, and so could bring transformation to the school and the MAT I work within. The book gave me a real sense of pride in this work – talking of those of us carrying out this work as ’Guardians of the long term future‘, ’co-creating new solutions‘, offering a ’bright future for everyone‘ through ’unleashing minds to avoid blind acceptance of what is normal'. It explains in very clear, simple, straightforward terms why continuing to live inside a myth that infinite growth on a finite planet, walking forwards blinding into the oncoming catastrophe, is sheer madness – and then plots a clear, sensible course out of that madness. It outlines why such a course must necessitate a complete transformation of our culture, and that this can best be driven by a transformation of education – by bringing students to see what is necessary, and teaching them that such changes are possible. By spreading that change on to our communities, we can, and must, drive forward such a cultural shift.
