Sustainable Leadership for Life-Enhancing Innovation
Sustainable Leadership prepares you to lead people and organizations successfully in the context of an increasingly fast-paced, technologically advanced, environmentally and socially challenged complex context with success, innovation and vigor. The future of leadership require everyone in the organization to take ownership of their own growth and development in order to become the systemic sustainability thinking and sensing drivers, where the DNA of business solve the challenges of our environmental and human needs.
Sustainable Business leaders ask “How do and can we bring value?”, “How can we create a culture of good, where people, planet and the bottom line thrive?”
“Becoming a sustainable leader is a process of self-disruption” – Sandja Brügmann
It’s a process that requires patience, perseverance and effort over time in order to create a shift in perception, understanding and beliefs. Most organizational cultures and leadership approaches do not work, because they are driven by fear. The future calls for different! A culture and leadership methods that expand rather than contract people and organizations.
Our Sustainable, Regenerative and Conscious Leadership programs create results. Below is an example option of a six month program.
A Mindset Shift to Sustainable Business and life-enhancing Leadership
- From mechanistic worldview and silo thinking to a systemic understanding worldview
- From measuring success only in financial bottom line to a broadder understanding of success based on the 5P’s: Passion, Purpose, People, Planet and Profits.
- From using marketing and business techniques to drive sales through human psychological weaknesses of insecurity and fear to one of uplifting, educating and empowering people, so your customers will continue to choose you in the long-term, because you make life better for your customers – and they recognize you care – this builds trust and loyal customers.
- From ‘me’ to ‘we’ – participation based shared value organizations, teams & product development
- From performance and efficiency drivers maximizing output from each employee to understanding the whole human being as a person creating and collaborating from a soul perspective when a healthy environment is in place including a sense of belonging, acceptance, psychological safety, trust, feeling understood and supported, nourishment and room to grow – this creates motivation, creativity, increased intellectual output, company loyalty, creative innovation and solution thinking and higher output results.
- From traditional masculine behavioral skills to integration of masculine/feminine skills.
- From know it all to embracing life-long curiosity and learning.
- From projection and blame, to radical responsibility, curiosity and stepping forward creating connection.
