 What is Sustainability Leadership?

The challenges

Our collective struggle as a society to tackle the world’s most pressing challenges points to a failure of individual leadership. We have lacked the quality and quantity of bold leadership in business, government and civil society that would enable us to shift towards a more just and sustainable 21st-century lifestyle. The task of creating a more sustainable world is both a serious challenge and an enormous opportunity.

Without bold and effective leadership – at a political, institutional and individual level – we will fail to resolve our most serious social and environmental crises.
What makes a leader for sustainability?

CISL’s research suggests the following seven key characteristic traits and styles are among the most important in distinguishing the leadership approach taken by individuals tackling sustainability issues:

     Systemic, interdisciplinary understanding;
     Emotional intelligence and a caring attitude;
     Values orientation that shapes culture;
     A strong vision for making a significant difference;
     An inclusive style that engenders trust;
     A willingness to innovate and be radical; and
     A long-term perspective on impacts.

"A leader is someone who crafts a vision and inspires people to act collectively to make it happen, responding to whatever changes and challenges arise along the way. A sustainability leader is someone who inspires and supports action towards a better world."
Polly Courtice, Director, CISL
