Henrik Henriksson Libros

As CEOs and business leaders face complex global challenges, sustainability has become a business imperative. Two seasoned sustainability leaders, Henrik Henriksson and Elaine Weidman Grunewald, present a straightforward three-step model for guiding organizations through a transformative sustainability journey aimed at ambitious, world-changing goals. They candidly address dilemmas while highlighting opportunities, offering insights on accelerating sustainability within organizations through a Swedish lens, where national values and culture influence leadership practices. The book outlines three phases of sustainability leadership: establishing a solid foundation based on purpose, culture, values, and credible leadership; integrating sustainability into core business operations; and executing a vision that can shift company direction and potentially transform entire industries. Over 25 interviews with prominent CEOs from Swedish companies, start-ups, investors, and experts provide diverse perspectives on sustainability leadership. Additionally, case studies illustrate successful strategies and lessons learned from failures. This practical guide empowers CEOs and C-suite leaders to elevate their sustainability efforts, encouraging them to move beyond incremental improvements at a time when urgent, transformative action is essential.
