About the Book
The ecological footprint suggests that sustainability is the responsibility of individuals. However, sustainability requires systemic change. This means that the greatest change an individual can make is to bring about systemic change in organizations. However, this is not an easy undertaking. This book examines different problems and possible solutions that can stand in the way of such a challenge. The Fearless Change Patterns form the basis for the different solutions.
