    Speaking of sustainability ...

    Please see the review for The Sustainable way at: http://intergon.net/tsw

    It is a short novel about the application in a business of the findings of
    my PhD research - how CEOs deal with sustainability issues. It reflects the
    sort of work I have done with clients over
    the past 25 years, but the research enabled me to articulate my ideas more
    effectively. Briefly, if you want to deal with sustainability issues you
    need to align the culture to the sustainability objectives. To do this the
    CEOs I studied did the following:
    - identify and correct inappropriate rights people perceive they have
    - define necessary duties for people to perform
    - establish a moral order that supports these rights and duties
    - enage in actions that reinforce the rights, duties and moral order

    It would be appreciated if you were to add this to your reference list and
    perhaps purchase a copy.

    My ambition is to see every manager in every business read this book,
    reflect on the message, and go about their work in a more sustainable way.

    Please get in touch if you have any questions.
