Sustainable Leadership

Alan S. Gutterman

Publisher: Sustainable Entrepreneurship Project

Summary

Leadership is a universal phenomenon that has preoccupied scholars, politicians and others for centuries. In the management context leadership has been consistently identified as playing a critical role in the success or failure of organizations and some surveys have pegged almost half of an organization's performance on the quality and effectiveness of its leadership team.  While all leaders should have a vision and desire to inspire their followers to take collective action to make it happen, sustainability leaders can be distinguished as people who inspire and support action to identify and develop innovative sustainable solutions, business models and practices  that will lead to a better world.  This book is intended to serve as a guide to the basic principles of sustainable leadership and what sustainable leaders need to know about the roles and activities expected from an effective leader; personality traits and attributes which can be learned and perfected by persons that aspire to leadership positions; and styles of leadership, which encompass the strategies used by leaders to engage with their followers.  The book also provides an overview of the research and commentary on the theory and practice of sustainable leadership.

Socialism and War - Essays...

F. A. Hayek

This volume of writings by the eminent economist documents his thought on socialism and war during the dark decades of the 1930s and 1940s. 
 
Throughout the twentieth century socialism and war were intimately connected. The unprecedented upheavals wrought by the two world wars and the Great Depression provided both opportunity and impetus for a variety of socialist experiments. Socialism and War presents F.A. Hayek’s insight into these topics as it evolved over the course of decades. 
 
Opening with Hayek’s arguments against market socialism, the volume continues with his writings on the economics of war, many in response to the proposals made in John Maynard Keynes’s famous pamphlet, How to Pay for the War. The last section presents articles that anticipated The Road to Serfdom, Hayek’s classic meditation on the dangers of collectivism. An appendix contains a number of topical book reviews written by Hayek during this crucial period, and a masterful introduction by the volume editor, Bruce Caldwell, sets Hayek’s work in context. 
 
Volume ten in The Collected Works of F.A. Hayek, Socialism and War will interest anyone concerned with the ongoing debates about government intervention in the economy.
