Ecological Intelligence by Daniel Goleman
The best selling author of Emotional Intelligence and Primal Leadership mow brings us Ecological Intelligence-revealing the hidden environmental consequences of what we make and buy, and how with that knowledge we can drive the essential changes we all must make to save our planet and ourselves. Daniel Goleman reveals why so many of the products that are labeled “green” are a mirage. He explains why we as shippers are in the dark over the hidden impacts of the goods and services we make and consume, victims of a blackout about the detrimental effects of producing, shipping, packaging, distributing and discarding the goods we buy. But the balance of power is about to shift from seller to buyer, as a new generation of technologies informs us of the ecological facts about products at the point of purchase. What Goleman calls “radical transparency” will enable consumers to make smarter purchasing decisions, and will drive companies to reform their businesses, ushering in, he claims, a new age of competitive advantage.
