Environmental Management Leadership

Leadership's main objective is to promote sustainability into business practices by equipping leaders with the knowledge and insights about key sustainable development issues and enhance the personal leadership skills required to promote organizational change towards sustainability. Participants are encouraged to reframe social and environmental issues not just as risks but also as sizeable opportunities.

 

Authentic Leadership

Authentic leadership begins with seeing situations clearly and directly, appreciating complexity, holding the long term consequences, and attending to detail with precision. Authentic leadership respects and builds on the inherent goodness, dignity, and richness of oneself and others. It fosters a culture of inquiry, appreciation, and integrity. Transformative learning occurs in an environment of creative paradox, where order is discovered within chaos.
