Sustainable Leadership: Good for business, people and the planet

Increasingly, company directors, senior executives and all those running an organisation are being held accountable for not only the profitability but also for the social and environmental performance of the business.

This course provides directors and senior executives with frameworks and tools to manage these wide-ranging responsibilities. Well known, high performing organisations already apply Sustainable Leadership practices because they pay off, as do many nonprofits, SMEs , associations and government departments. 

In this course, we take you on a journey into rethinking leadership for this new world using 23 evidence-based leadership practices, developed by Professor Gayle Avery and Dr Harry Bergsteiner at our Institute. Each practice proven to enhance the performance of a firm or team in many ways. 

Who should take this course?

This course is designed for all directors and managers wanting a practical introduction to Sustainable Leadership, whatever their business sector or country of operation.

“The course was very valuable. It made me stop and review my actions and I realised that we can’t continue to do what we’ve always done and expect different results. We need to think more strategically around working as one business, grow culturally and focus on continuous improvement.

I want to implement many of the strategies taught in the course. I can help my team to see the vision and feel the purpose which will in turn be communicated to all.  Applying the learnings together with the team really excites me: driving a new culture, ensuring sustainability, and adopting a long-term focus.”

Lee Hughes, Head of New Zealand at RSEA Safety
