Sustaining Leadership

Help leaders to step into the unknown, go beyond their comfort zone and create business opportunities out of sustainability challenges.

Create meaning and open up minds to new questions by fostering reflection and dialogue – accessing one's own humanity is a prerequisite for leading towards sustainability.

Demonstrate practically how collective intelligence works in fast and efficient problem solving.

Teach leaders the art of engaging with stakeholders as a cornerstone for successful collaboration while working on real issues leaders are dealing with.

Show that complexity is the future normality and teach leaders how to juggle with it successfully rather than fight or reduce it.

Offer leaders the experience that innovation is not something allocated to specific people but a competence leaders must both harvest in themselves and foster in others. For this they encourage inventiveness and iterative learning.

Foster essential skills for adaptability including seeing change as inevitable and finding ways to partner with it.

Illustrate practically how mutual support rather than competition helps perform better.

Communicate that personal mental and physical balance are part of sustainability and equip participants with tools to get this back on their agenda regularly.
