With melting ice caps in the Arctic causing catastrophic environmental issues, it's hard to believe that we've had to spend so much time convincing each other that climate change is real. Lead for the Planet shifts the focus to how we, the members of Team Humanity, are going to organize to solve the twin issues of climate change and energy evolution. The book channels a broad range of social science perspectives, from anthropology to psychology to economics, to help decision-makers explore how Team Humanity can get this thing done.

Lead for the Planet outlines five practices that successful climate leaders will need to adopt, from getting the truth about the state of the planet, to assessing the risks and identifying the interests of key stakeholders, to implementing change within and between organizations and sectors on a global scale. Building on her experience as an organizational psychologist, Rae Andr shows how these practices comprise an effective model for climate leadership. Lead for the Planet is a guide for the kind of leadership that is necessary to help us all avoid the worst of global warming and to create a clean energy future for the generations to come.

Industry Reviews

"Rae Andre’s book provides a knowledgeable summary of key climate science issues as she presents her humanistic perspective throughout her book. Unlike other books that stress climate science and policy, Andre zeros in on human behavior with what she calls the two systems of thinking – system one, which is more emotionally based, and system two, which is systematic and rationally based. This reviewer is particularly impressed on the chapter on defining the 'business of business' where she discusses for-profit business decision-making and motivations."
