Real change extends beyond individuals—it requires a shift in how we lead, collaborate, and shape systems. The second of this two-volume work delves into the power of collective leadership to drive systemic transformation. Featuring diverse contributions from the global IDG movement, it offers insights, tools, and stories that inspire action toward sustainability. Together, we can move beyond isolated efforts to co-create a future where inner development fuels lasting societal change. The first volume From "I" to "We" complements the themes and issues raised here in a creative and explorative format.
Industry Reviews
"The Sustainable Development Goals are critical if the humans living today were to be described by their future generations as 'Good ancestors!' All goals begin with individual commitment and action. The five 'Inner Development Goals' are the means to manifest this action. Unless we source learning from 'Being', think with the 'Whole' mind, build trusting relations, collaborate, and act with focus and enthusiasm, our dreams for our world would only remain at an 'intent' level. This book is much needed and timely.I congratulate all the authors for their inspired work and recommend this to every person who cares for Mother Earth." Anil Sachdev, Founder and Chairman of SOIL- School of Inspired Leadership, Indiaã "I am pleased to support this two-volume book on how to implement the United Nations' Inner Development Goals. While many people are aware of, and support, the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the Inner Development Goals (IDGs) are less familiar but equally crucial. The five IDGs were devised to accelerate the adoption of the SDGs by highlighting the necessary skills for individuals, teams, and organizations to achieve the SDG vision. By focusing on personal and collective growth, these important and much-needed books offer useful tools, methods, and examples to empower individuals, teams, and organizations to more effectively contribute to the realization of the SDGs. This two-volume book is an invaluable resource for anyone committed to sustainable development and inner transformation." William J. Rothwell, Ph.D., DBA, SPHR, SHRM-SCP, RODC, FLMI, CPTD Fellow, Distinguished Professor Workforce Education and Development, The Pennsylvania State University "The world is in crisis. We urgently need to improve our individual and collective abilities to bring about transformational change. This collection provides much needed guidance on the inner skills and qualities that will support the transition to sustainability and the means to help to broadly develop them." Stephanie Bertels, VanDusen Professor of Sustainability, SFU Beedie School of Business, Founder & Lead Researcher, The Embedding Project
