This chapter outlines how to implement the Love Ethic Model by focusing on insights gained from the leadership and strategies evident in the stories of eco-activists’ justice work. The ability to organise people power to safeguard the public interest, and to sustain the momentum for long-haul multifaceted campaigns, is encapsulated in the idea of transformational change leadership.

The authors identify five components of a transformational leadership approach when it is used to drive change at a strategic level: facilitating higher-level thinking, gathering inputs from diverse sources, anticipating and creating the desirable future, encouraging and supporting radical thinking, and creating a vision for the future.
