A guide to collaborative impact for leaders in industry,
government, and social change networks Our world is facing
unsustainable global trends-from climate change and water scarcity
to energy insecurity, unfair labor practices, and growing
inequality. Tackling these crises effectively requires a new form
of leadership-a collective one. But, in a world of many silos, how
do we get people to work together toward a common goal? That is one
of the most important questions facing sustainability and
social-change professionals around the world, and it is a question
that Petra Kuenkel answers in The Art of Leading Collectively.
Readers learn how to tackle system change for sustainable
development, reimagine leadership as a collaborative endeavor,
retrain leaders to work collectively, and manage diverse groups
through a change process that has sustainability as a guiding
focus. Drawing upon two decades of pioneering, internationally
recognized work orchestrating multi-stakeholder initiatives,
Kuenkel presents her chief tool, the Collective Leadership Compass,
and shows others how to use it with large groups of diverse
stakeholders to solve complex, urgent problems-particularly those
that enmesh business activities, governance, human needs, and
environmental impacts. The book offers many examples of collective
leadership efforts involving corporate, public, and nonprofit
sectors around the world. Readers learn about the processes that
led to a sustainable textile alliance and set standards for
sustainable cocoa and coffee production and trade, as well as those
that helped nations rebound from war, develop sustainable
infrastructure, and tackle resource conflicts with global
businesses, to name a few. Kuenkel provides a clear roadmap for
leaders from multinational companies involved in partnerships,
international organizations engaged in cooperative development,
public agencies, and interest groups-as well as for citizens
seeking solutions to social and sustainability challenge
