Sustainable Leaders? Who are they? Leaders who understand the importance of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and ESG, who minimize their impact on the planet, who prioritize the well-being of their team, and who can see beyond the day-to-day trials of running a business and create lasting social impact.

Leaders who do not make smart decisions (with a focus on the short-term profit), but wise decisions (with a focus on long-term profit while taking into consideration the impact of every decision on the clients, employees, environment, and society in general). In other words, leaders who help you realize your company’s purpose.

Sustainable Leadership consists of three pillars and five core competencies — all essential for the success of C-suite executives and Board members which must be interwoven in order for Purposeful Leadership to reach its full potential. 

It is one thing to understand what Sustainable Leadership is; it is another to understand how it plays out in the real world. To help ground Sustainable Leadership in reality, we have developed a model for identifying and assessing Sustainable Leaders. After interviewing thousands of leaders from countless industries, we have learned how to identify individuals who can change organizations, and in turn, change the world.
