Overview
Lead your organization's transition from linear operations to circular economy practices
In Disrupt the Linear: Leadership Blueprint for a Circular Economy, two leadership and change management scholars present a method for bottom-up leadership that drives sustainability transformation in business and society. Drawing on the construct of Appreciative Intelligence, a competency for innovation developed through decades of work with senior managers across for-profit, government, and non-profit organizations, this book provides a practical path forward.
Disrupt the Linear equips leaders with a solution-oriented and innovative mindset for implementing circular economy transition in the every-day practices of their organizations. The authors draw on consulting experience with clients including the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, IBM, General Mills, 3M, and British Petroleum to present approaches that connect visionary thinking with concrete implementation strategies.
Readers will also find:
- A framework for bottom-up leadership focused on the wellbeing of people and the planet across organizational contexts
- Insights on how individuals in for-profit, government, and non-profit organizations can start innovating circular economy practices
- Methods grounded in Appreciative Intelligence, a research-based construct linking innovation competency to leadership development outcomes
- Practical approaches for leading sustainability transformation informed by over 30 years of consulting and teaching experience
- Strategies for navigating disruptive change while building solution-oriented and innovative mindsets throughout your organization
Written for consultants, business and technology managers, development specialists, and project coordinators working across sectors, Disrupt the Linear provides a leadership approach for anyone seeking to implement circular economy practices within their organization's operations and contribute to broader sustainability transformation.
