Book excerpt: "This guide details five key practices for effective sustainability leadership. Lead for the Planet develops climate solutions that prioritize the wellbeing of people and ecosystems globally. This is the first book to apply a broad range of social sciences, from anthropology to psychology to economics, to help decision makers explore how humanity can best address the climate crisis. Leaders get things done through people. Just as they have applied natural science to understand climate change, now they should apply social science to improve how society makes decisions about the climate crisis. Using an interdisciplinary approach, Lead for the Planet also explores some of the harsher realities of the climate challenge--issues like resource limitations and stakeholder power. Refined over a decade in university courses on leadership for planetary sustainability, this book starts conversations and asks crucial questions: Who exactly is going to get this thing done? Will Team Humanity save the planet? Taking human nature into account, what is the best way forward? "--
