Advanced Practitioner in Sustainable Leadership
Sustainable Leadership: Good for business, people and our planet
Sustainable Leadership drives high performance by addressing the interests of all stakeholders, including society and the environment; by fostering employees and a supportive organisational culture; and by ensuring good governance, a long-term perspective and high ethical standards.
The Advanced Practitioner in Sustainable Leadership course enables you to become a licensed practitioner and advisor in Sustainable Leadership. This course builds on the learnings from the Foundations in Sustainable Leadership course. It provides a deep dive into the 23 individual practices and trains you to use our advanced assessment tools. You apply them first to a living case study with the class, and then individually to a client of your own choosing.
This course is presented by Dr Gayle Avery and Dr Harry Bergsteiner, co-founders of the Institute for Sustainable Leadership, using evidence-based material that they and other leading researchers have gathered over two decades.
During her 30 year tenure as a university professor, Gayle taught leadership to executives at top tier business schools around the world. Her wealth of global teaching experience in designing and delivering executive education courses, along with the Institute’s wide ranging consulting work with large, medium and small businesses, means that all course material is founded in real-life and is optimally suited to the needs of managers whatever their business sector or country of operation.
Dr Harry Bergsteiner is a globally recognised expert in Sustainable Leadership and accountability. He has wide experience teaching executives around the world and advising organisations on how to become high performing and resilient, while caring for people and the environment.
