SUS6210: Leadership for Sustainable Management
Course Description:
This course is a learning journey through which we invite you to engage with us in the fundamental quest to answer, “Who am I? — in relation to myself, to others and to my environment” — so that we may best serve as leaders and collaborators in creating a sustainable world. We begin by making explicit the emerging and evolving worldview that challenges the current status quo and allows for visions of possibility to emerge: the systems and evolutionary 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. These perspectives will be grounded in self-knowing as the portal to diversity, collective wisdom and creativity to respond to the increased complexity of our shared socio-ecological predicament.
