Routledge Evolutionary Leadership: Designing Sustainable and Flourishing Futures in a Time of Polycrises

The future belongs not to those who maintain the status quo, but to those who can envision and create systems that allow humanity and our planet to flourish together. This book is an invitation for you to become an evolutionary leader. As we face unprecedented polycrises – climate change, social inequality, economic instability – traditional leadership approaches are proving inadequate. This groundbreaking book challenges business leaders to transcend conventional thinking and become architects of a more sustainable, abundant future. Drawing on Buckminster Fuller's visionary framework and cutting-edge systems thinking, this book offers more than theory – it provides a practical pathway to becoming an evolutionary leader capable of addressing our most complex challenges. It presents seven transformative competencies that elevate you from problem-solver to systems transformer and actionable strategies for designing innovations that serve people, profit, and planet simultaneously. While other books merely diagnose global challenges or present utopian visions, this work bridges the critical gap between awareness and action. It is for forward-thinking executives, entrepreneurs, social innovators, policy makers, and change agents committed to creating meaningful impact and to collaborating with each other in an interconnected world.
