Riassunto:

Leadership is key to saving the planet from the twin threats of climate change and environmental destruction. Extinction awaits the human species unless we change our leadership. It will need more than getting better individual leaders - we need to change the nature of leadership itself. This means we also have to change how we follow. We all need to be more challenging, more engaged and more active in how decisions are made. The world of business is one key place for us to practice these changes. We can get better at the skills of participative leadership and active followership if we practice them in the workplace then bring the skills into the wider world. We cannot rely on finding a hero-leader to save us from doom. We all need to read the writing on the wall - extinction is coming unless we act now. Anthropology teaches us that all the other human species have gone extinct. We are the last of our genus; we could even take the rest of life on Earth down with us if we boil away our planet's protective atmosphere.

Paul Clipson, an anthropologist by training, has had an international career in HR and Leadership Development. He has been VP of Human Resources for the USA division of WHSmith. He was the VP of Leadership for Canadian food giant Maple Leaf Foods and most recently he has been the VP of People for the international division of Camelot Lotteries.His book "Wake Up We Humans" has just been published. It is a radical challenge to our typical understanding of leadership. It is a plea for a wider distribution of leadership responsibilities so that we are all empowered to take responsibility, both at work and in the wider world, for tackling the crises of our age. With the help of satirical cartoonist Sam Hepburn, Paul weaves his anthropology and his corporate experience into a highly entertaining roadmap to help navigate the rocky future that awaits we humans.
