Leadership in Sustainability
About this subject
At the completion of this subject students will be able to:
- evaluate a range of contemporary leadership frameworks and apply them to sustainability
- apply leadership theory to analyse success factors for established sustainability leaders
- develop skills and tools needed to promote an ethic of sustainability leadership within an individual's sphere of influence
- synthesise own learning with professional leadership experiences
- communicate and demonstrate creatively the application of leadership skills in relation to a chosen sustainability issue.
- Introduction
- Sustainability leadership theory
- Creativity and leadership
- Personal leadership stories
- Application to professional practice
This subject provides the rationale for why a business, agency or Non Government Organisation (NGO) needs to address sustainability and how the innovative ones are exploring what this can mean. It establishes a process for students to engage in taking their own leadership aspirations to a new level and to develop their own potential as leaders in sustainability. Students will be given the opportunity to engage with a range of respected sustainability leaders who will share their wealth of experience through reflective discussions about their personal sustainability journeys, as well as exposing the students to contemporary information on the topic.
