Thank you for the great book!. "Opening the Conversation" according to Shel Horowitz. Much has been written about the mainstreaming of sustainability efforts in the corporate world. But very little has been written about the mindset and worldview of the people making that change.Thus, this repurposed doctoral dissertation steps into the breech.
