Join Dr. Steve Schein, as he discusses and signs his new book A New Psychology for Sustainability Leadership
About the book: Drawing on interviews with 75 leaders and more than 40 multinational corporations and NGOs, Dr. Schein explores how ecological worldviews are developed and expressed in global sustainability practice. By applying key theories from developmental psychology, integral ecology, and eco-psychology to sustainability practice, Schein encourages us to think about leadership in a different way.
