Lighting the Way: Providing Compassionate Leadership in Sustainable Development

By Robert Gilleskie P E

Of the three main areas of Sustainable Development - Environment, Economics, and Social Equity - Social Equity is the most in need of effective leadership. The author describes each of the seven most common Social Equity issues - Racism, Homelessness, Hunger, Income Inequality, Social Justice, Immigration, and Health Care - and illustrates both the need and opportunities for leadership in government, business, and the individual. In doing so, he draws from the leadership characteristics described in his first book - LIGHTING THE WAY Providing Leadership in Sustainable Development - Communication, Vision, Positive Attitude, Presence, Responsibility, Respect, and Empathy.
