Long-Read of the Week
Driving sustainability isn’t just about strategy—it’s about people. Real change happens when leaders create cultures of trust, collaboration, and shared purpose.
In Leaders Eat Last, Simon Sinek reveals how the best leaders foster environments where people feel safe, valued, and inspired to take action. From businesses to social movements, he shows why prioritising people over profit leads to long-term success.
"The courage of leadership is giving others the chance to succeed, even at the risk of falling yourself."
For sustainability professionals leading transformation, this book is a powerful guide to building the teams and cultures that drive real impact.
