For Lacroix, true leadership prioritises sustainability and a desire to make the world an 'ever-better' place for everyone and many of the largest corporations are now adopting the sustainability solutions he envisioned.

'In my 27 years in the world of Leadership Advisory, I've rarely come across CEOs who've shared their insights by authoring a book, and rarer still one who invests huge personal time and energy in teaching leaders in their own organisation. André has done both. His book is a masterpiece of relevant advice to top leaders at a time when all leaders need to learn anew and reinvent themselves in order to reinvent their organisations. Leading in Complexity means leaders need greater capacities to sense and experiment, to understand the emotional and the rational realms. André demonstrates how putting people at the heart of a business makes a difference and he invites us all to experiment more, sharing his insights to accelerate our impact on businesses and on societies. I know André as masterful in understanding market forces and business economics and here he shares how and reminds us all that people matter most. It's only people and our leadership and innovation that will also save the planet.' - Jill AderGlobal Chairwoman, Egon Zehnder
