Beyond Profit: Purpose-Driven Leadership for a Wellbeing Economy

Beyond Profit brings together the latest academic research on Purpose-Driven Leadership and Organizations to show how leaders can create a Wellbeing Economy that is aligned with a sustainable future where we innovate and protect collective long-term wellbeing through governance that works. It is a must read for all leaders wanting to implement a coherent roadmap to meet the needs of the world we want - it will help you ask critical questions, learn from inspirational stories, and be armed with an innovative approach to find answers that will lead to a better tomorrow.

Leaders make decisions with real consequences that are not just local but national and even global - they impact matters of intense importance; decisions with environmental, economic, societal and moral implications. The reality of leadership in times of uncertainty and risk places an unprecedented challenge at the door of today's generation of leaders.

As a leader, you may often feel locked into pursuing sustained growth and endless increases in financial returns - while held back by less resources and more challenges around employees, customers, and new technologies.

Perhaps you feel overwhelmed and weighed down by responsibility - troubled by the legacy you are leaving behind. It doesn't have to be this way.
