Benjamin W. Redekop, Professor of Leadership Studies, Department of Leadership and American Studies, Christopher Newport University, US

Benjamin Redekop expertly presents a comprehensive overview of the rise and evolution of environmentally sustainable leadership from the early 19th century to the present day. Redekop not only assesses the approaches of various historical and contemporary leaders, but also provides a foundation for understanding the challenges, dilemmas, and opportunities for sustainable leadership today.

‘In this brilliant and elegant book, Benjamin Redekop critiques the prevailing American model of what he terms “unsustainable leadership,” and argues for a new understanding, arising from the ideas and insights of pioneering women like Rachel Carson and Marjory Stoneman Douglas, that puts sustainability and respect for the natural world at the center of the leader’s work.’
