About The Book Why sustainability is too expensive to ignore “Not my problem.” This belief has cost businesses more than they have ever measured. This book makes the practical, financial and evidence-based case that sustainability is not a cost centre, a compliance burden or someone else's responsibility. Regardless of politics, sustainability is the defining business opportunity of our generation. Backed with facts and figures, global and ASEAN case examples, this book is pragmatic guide for every leader who wants to turn that opportunity into real business value. Drawing on twenty-five years of transformational leadership experience across more than thirty-five countries, Akkerman translates complex sustainability challenges into clear, decision-ready steps spanning leadership, risk, purpose, people, planet, profit, technology, marketing and change management. Original frameworks including StepWise™, the Purpose Full Circle Map™ and Return on Mother Earth (ROME)™ give you the tools to move from intention to measurable impact. Uncomfortable without moralising. Challenging without prescribing. Written for leaders who are curious enough to pick this up and honest enough to finish it. Those who will look back on this period without regret are the ones who realised, before it was easy, that it was their problem after all. Not My Problem? is the third book in Dennis Akkerman's transformational leadership trilogy. About The Author Dennis Akkerman wrote Not My Problem? after countless conversations about sustainability and ESG: conversations that were often polarised between those who see it as the holy grail and those who see it as a costly administrative burden. In his view, neither is true. Sustainability is one of the biggest business opportunities of our time and the leaders who recognise that earliest will be the ones who thrive financially, socially and environmentally. His work has taken him to more than 30 countries, partnering with organisations such as Bain Consulting, Besi Semiconductors, Coca-Cola, HSBC, Shell, United Nations, WWF and many more. Furthermore, he has been serving as a judge for The Star Media Group Asia ESG Awards, developed programs for People With Disabilities (PWD) under Malaysia’s Madani Program and contributed to youth development initiatives with Pepperlab, an initiative of Khazanah Nasional. At the heart of Akkerman's philosophy is his belief that transformational leaders are catalysts for positive change. Following the success of his first two books in the transformational leadership trilogy, this third volume continues his mission to empower leaders to lead change from within and build a legacy of lasting impact. Born and raised in the Netherlands, Dennis has lived in five countries and has called Kuala Lumpur home for the past 13 years.
