In September 2015, at the United Nations, world leaders agreed on
seventeen Sustainable Development Goals or SDGs. This book
extrapolates the SDGs into the idea of a purposeful world. In this
context, the purpose for humanity is to thrive sustainably
alongside other life forms and to consciously celebrate the
process. The SDGs serve as a powerful vision, time-stamped at the
2030 time horizon, not just for world leaders but for us all.
However, faced with the challenges of implementing the SDGs, we
(including business leaders, government leaders and anyone wishing
to make a difference) can feel overwhelmed. Wilson takes the reader
on a journey of thought and invites them to work out their personal
role in sustainability as well as their collaborative role
alongside others in their communities and organisations. Written in
a very accessible style, the book celebrates some of the many
achievements made by ordinary people as a catalyst for hope, sets
out a number of achievable goals and provides exercises to enable
the reader to adopt practices that help to make a difference. It is
the perfect book to help turn the SDGs into action at every level -
governmental, organisational and personal.

Globalization, competition and recession have created an
overwhelming pressure on organizations to deliver growth. This has
often resulted in tough performance targets being pushed down the
line. Hard-hitting management may deliver short-term results but in
the longer term key people burn out or leave, and business
performance falls back. Designing the Purposeful Organization
explains how to implement a more enlightened and authentic
leadership style that aligns people's strengths to the delivery of
a compelling future. Designing the Purposeful Organization draws on
a unique framework that helps leaders manage the eight elements
essential for high performance: purpose, vision, engagement,
structure, character, results, success and talent. It moves beyond
the boundaries of transactional performance (pay me X and I'll
deliver Y) to a purpose-centred performance that releases talent,
creativity and engagement. It features case studies from Google,
Whole Foods Market, the NHS and the London 2012 Olympics and is
ideal for practitioners in organization development, senior HR
managers and business leaders. This book demonstrates how business
performance can be inspired beyond boundaries by aligning people to
a compelling purpose.
