Abstract

Climate change mitigation research has mostly focused on systemic change, strategic net zero targets for organisations, and the transformation of societies and consumers as decision makers, however little attention has been given to managers, employees, and individual workers in organisations as to how they could achieve climate solutions with multiple benefits including improved health and mobility. In this symposium, we will explore how ‘CoachingOurselves’, a program developed by Henry Mintzberg, Philip LeNir and others, can be employed to empower everyone—workers, employees, managers—to explore possible climate solutions in order to choose and enact the appropriate ones for their work. We will also discuss how Indigenous Knowledge Systems could feature in this endeavour, how managers and farmers in the supply chain could become part of climate solutions and highlight several research gaps with regard to managerial training, change theory, and professional development.
