Review :
Ethical, transformative leadership is often the missing link in many failing organisations across the world. The dearth of such leadership signals the death of opportunities for countries to achieve the UN 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. This Handbook is a handy platform for robust discussions on the dynamics of achieving value-laden, ethical and transformative change in society.
