For the first-time ever, in this widely-researched work that bridges the utopian ideas and visions of East and West, Ambrose Mong explores the writings of influential thinkers from ancient China to Renaissance Europe and today, including Thomas More, Teilhard de Chardin, Confucius and Mo Tzu,and even twentieth century political reformist Kang Youwei.

"An instant classic." —Arianna Huffington "Will inspire people from across the political spectrum." —Jonathan Haidt Longlisted for the Porchlight Business Book of the Year Award, an essential shortlist of leadership ideas for everyone who wants to do good in this world, from Jacqueline Novogratz, author of the New York Times bestseller The Blue Sweater and founder and CEO of Acumen. In 2001, when Jacqueline Novogratz founded Acumen, a global community of socially and environmentally responsible partners dedicated to changing the way the world tackles poverty, few had heard of impact investing—Acumen’s practice of “doing well by doing good.” Nineteen years later, there’s been a seismic shift in how corporate boards and other stakeholders evaluate businesses: impact investment is not only morally defensible but now also economically advantageous, even necessary. Still, it isn’t easy to reach a success that includes profits as well as mutually favorable relationships with workers and the communities in which they live. So how can today’s leaders, who often kick off their enterprises with high hopes and short timetables, navigate the challenges of poverty and war, of egos and impatience, which have stymied generations of investors who came before? Drawing on inspiring stories from change-makers around the world and on memories of her own most difficult experiences, Jacqueline divulges the most common leadership mistakes and the mind-sets needed to rise above them. The culmination of thirty years of work developing sustainable solutions for the problems of the poor, Manifesto for a Moral Revolution offers the perspectives necessary for all those—whether ascending the corporate ladder or bringing solar light to rural villages—who seek to leave this world better off than they found it.

Nowadays, organisations are confronted with the imperative to enhance their organisational sustainability. This involves establishing an appropriate balance between the economic, ecological, and social aspects of an organisation's operations and striving to accomplish their economically viable goals that are both socially and environmentally responsible. By aligning the priorities and incorporating environmental, social, and economic factors into their operational strategies, organisations can generate value for themselves, while also making a positive impact on the current and future welfare of society and the environment. Noticeably, the advancement of organisational sustainability relies heavily on human capital management in the workplace. Today, more than ever, human capital is regarded as the foundation of organisations and ought to be treated as such. Given the pivotal role of human capital management for ensuring the long-term organisational sustainability of an organisation, emphasis should be placed on redefining leadership strategies and priorities, focusing on diversity and inclusion, cultivating talent, facilitating remote work, fostering employee engagement, promoting skill development for environmentally friendly practices, and prioritising job satisfaction and employee well-being. In response to the multi-faceted challenges of the third decade of the 21st century, this book provides an in-depth review of research avenues addressing present and future human capital development concerns in terms of enhancing organisation sustainability. The main aim of the book is to indicate the direction of demand for new competences regarding workplace human capital and identify synergies between its particular aspects with reference to contemporary human capital development. The monograph’s objectives include presenting tools that allow the analysis and development of human capital competences, pro-active and pro-environmental attitudes and behaviours, the coexistence of workers and AI in the organisation, as well as providing employee well-being, satisfaction, and commitment. Moreover, the book offers recommendations for contemporary responsible organisations that carry themselves towards the new economic and social order and sustainability.
