'This book is a must read because in our world problems have acquired a wicked nature, they are complex. So leaders need to bear in mind that solutions can only be found through collaborative approaches.' Elizabeth Filippouli, Founder and CEO of Global Thinkers Forum (GTF) 'In the complex context in which companies now operate, leaders must leave their comfort zones and become more multi-disciplinary, requiring new skills and approaches. This book tries to draw the threads together, while also raising relevant questions about sustainable wealth creation and the need for a more collaborative capitalism.' David Nicol, Chief Executive Officer, Brewin Dolphin Limited, UK 'Leading for sustainable success demands much more than maintaining a lifetime of traditional learning. It also requires the understanding of new disciplines that themselves adapt as global society changes. This well written book very readably highlights this tension and leads the way in promoting the changes required to maintain business growth and profitability.' John Board, Dean, Henley Business School, UK 'As communications advisers to CEOs across the globe, we witness corporate executives, commentators and policy makers struggle to reset their priorities and engage with new empowered opinion leaders. Some live in the past with outmoded mindsets, wrestling to anticipate change. This book attempts to join the dots and make sense of uneven patterns. It forces us to recognize the limits of our knowledge and seek clarity from others.' Brad Staples, CEO, APCO Worldwide 'In this increasingly unpredictable world, leaders need to be open to continuous learning and be able to think in a multi-dimensional way so that they can valuably connect unconnected disciplines, perspectives, and experiences. Based on international practice and evolving theories, this book attempts to join the dots as a guide to a more sustainable and inclusive future.' Kenneth Paul Tan, National University
