SUS 6210 - Leadership for Sustainable Management

This course is a learning journey through which we invite you to explore your relationship to others and to the environment — so that you may serve as leaders and collaborators in creating a sustainable world. We begin by making explicit the emerging worldview that challenges the current status quo and allows for visions of possibility to emerge: the systems perspective. We explore the meaning of leadership as it has changed over time and the new roles required to facilitate organizational and social transformation toward sustainability. Collaborative processes, as the core of the transformational work at the human level required to bring about sustainability, will be seen as a complement to the overemphasis on individual capacity and competition prevailing in the business world.
