Presents a broad spectrum of learning tools and activities that aid
the development of a sustainability mindset. Captures genuine
experiences from students, tutors and trainers from across the
globe. The book is closely aligned to the Principles of Responsible
Management Education.
As we increase our awareness of the planetary challenges and how
they intersect with the discipline or profession we choose to focus
on, we have put our attention on the external forces and impacts.
What remains untouched however is the set of beliefs, values,
assumptions, mental processes, and paradigms that we hold and
share: our mindset. But how do we change a mindset? This book is
the first to introduce the 12 Principles for a Sustainability
Mindset, presenting educators with a framework that makes it easy
to include them into teaching plans and lessons of any discipline.
Written in a very clear and practical way, the book provides
examples, checklists, tips, and tools for professionals and
educators. It transforms the development of a much-needed mindset
for sustainability into an accessible, fun and intuitive task. The
book is written with educators from a variety of disciplines in
mind, including but not limited to management educators, coaches,
and trainers. No other book comes close to providing such a
well-organized and solid way of starting to shift our mindsets in
the direction of sustainability.

This volume examines the importance of leadership in developing an
effective sustainability strategy. It defines the sustainability
mindset and surveys the primary motivations, conditions, or
environment(s) that cause leaders to embrace sustainable practices.
As described in the UN Sustainable Development Goal 8, embracing
the sustainability mindset will lead to greater productivity and
promote economic growth. Organized into themes of organizational
operations, leadership competencies, and leadership practices, the
chapters, written by contributors representing global perspectives,
tackle topics such as strategy, culture, and leadership styles in
developing a new form of mindfulness for leaders as well as
organizations. Recognizing the need for accelerated change in
organizations as well as society at large, this book presents
scholars with a framework for establishing a mindset for
sustainability to foster much-needed transformative leadership.
With an expanding awareness of the challenges of sustainability,
featured more in the daily news than in higher education textbooks,
scholars and faculty have been called to connect their syllabi to
the 'real world'. This book doesn't just offer the 'why'; it offers
the 'how' through presenting the definition and model of the
'sustainability mindset' to help educators frame curricula to
facilitate broad and deep systemic learning among current and
future leaders. A sustainability mindset is intended to help
individuals analyze complex management challenges and generate
truly innovative solutions. The sustainability mindset breaks away
from traditional management disciplinary silos by integrating
management ethics, entrepreneurship, environmental studies, systems
thinking, self-awareness and spirituality within the dimensional
contexts of thinking (knowledge), being (values) and doing
(competency). This book is aimed at professors, faculty members,
instructors, teaching assistants, researchers and doctoral students
in higher learning management education programs. Chapter
contributors are all teaching professionals from programs around
the world, who have been doing research and creating curricula,
assessments, tools, and more for the students in their classes, and
the book will be globally applicable.

When asked for the definition of mental health and fulfilment,
Sigmund Freud had two words: lieben und arbeiten, love and work. In
this book we will find how 16 business leaders brought together
their compassion, their caring for others and the world, with their
work. True, only on rare occasions are we able to meet the person
behind initiatives that made a positive impact on the world, even
less have an in-depth view into their feelings, concerns,
hesitations, doubts and most intimate thoughts. What is seen
publicly is the initiative, the impact on the bottom line and the
community, or sometimes on the environment. Yet it is their
_personal_ stories that can be most inspirational, since they draw
our attention to the fact that amazing achievements start in simple
ways, with just the thinking of one individual. And when we find
out that the "exemplary individuals" have many very "human" aspects
that we identify with and find in ourselves, it brings us closer;
and, particularly, it may even trigger in us the question: If she
could do it... I wonder what could _I_ do? The interviews, however,
were only the beginning of the journey. The lessons of the
interviews made it possible to identify how we can all develop a
sustainability mindset: in other words, the thinking and the being
that can take us from breakdown to breakthrough on this planet.
Each one of us can play a part in leading the change; in fact, we
are already playing a part aEURO" we are just not necessarily aware
if that is the part we would like to play, or aware that we choose
the change we are contributing to unfold. Part I presents the 16
leaders, including a summary of their story and their initiatives.
Part II goes a little deeper, as you will find two dimensions that
were not obvious but which underlie the way these business leaders
championed the initiatives: the Thinking and the Being. Part III
explores why sustainability change is so slow, and addresses the
"elephant in the room": the values and beliefs that anchor our
Western Weltanschauung, or worldview. Part IV addresses the
alternatives that we have to convert the unsustainable values into
opportunities that will permit humanity to thrive and to break
through the obstructions that prevent us from stasis. Finally, Part
V takes us beyond the tipping point, and presents us with an
opportunity to evolve as humans developing a new way of thinking
and being on this planet. This transformation is so radical and
significant, that the author calls it the Big Bang Being.
What do we need to change in order to develop a new generation of
business leaders who connect profits with purpose, who see in
social entrepreneurship and innovation the key opportunity for
addressing our planetary challenges? The answer lies in the
contents we select to teach, in the values we invite to explore and
develop, and in the methods we use. In the era of 24/7 global
access to information from our mobile gadgets, many institutions of
higher education are still sitting students in rows or
amphitheaters, measuring success via tests and evaluations, with
instructors lecturing what students should learn. And instructors
feel the challenge of competing with sleepy audiences that divide
their attention between their cell phones and the speaker. Stop
teaching, the author says, inviting instructors in management
schools and higher education to adopt some proven learning
principles that can reengage students, unleash their potentials,
and foster them to shape the world they want to live in. And have
fun doing it. Through adult learning research, guides, activities,
and stories from pioneering learning facilitators in education and
corporate training, Rimanoczy brings a long-needed revamp to
educational institutions that want to be part of responsible
management education.
Este libro de poesias de Isabel Rimanoczy es una exploracion del
alma, tocando emociones, reflexiones profundas e inspiradoras.En

digital que describe lo que no cabe en las palabras.
