The Pursuit of Sustainable Leadership

Sustainable Leadership (SL) encompasses the broad roles and responsibilities of leaders

that cut across the whole organization and the entire extended enterprise from horizon to

horizon. The underpinnings of SL require strategic leaders and professionals to play

leading roles in dealing with critical issues affecting business and people. This includes

resolving the related problems and challenges and participating in the development and

deployment of sustainable solutions based on the full spectrum of needs and expectations

of society, market spaces, and business environment. SL necessitates openness,

inclusiveness, innovativeness, and fair mindedness. It requires strategic leaders to create an

extraordinary vision and to fulfill their missions to develop, support, and promote the

extended enterprises and the market spaces served by their businesses.

Sustainable strategic leaders ensure that their organizations and enterprises are fully capable and responsive to external

dimensions and market spaces and have the potential to be successful. They serve and support markets, customers, and

stakeholders and provide them with solutions and successful outcomes. In addition, strategic leaders fulfill their broad

responsibilities to society through positive actions to improve the social and economic fabric of the human world and to

mitigate the negative impacts across all of the social, economic, and environmental aspects.

The Pursuit of Sustainable Leadership (PSL) involves the ongoing learning and development of business leaders and

students to become true strategic leaders who have the proper principles, philosophies, values, capabilities and perspectives

for achieving sustainable success. True leaders are dedicated to their endeavors and

never stop making transitions and transformations to higher levels of sophistication.

The PSL is based on a learning the foundations of leadership, having the right

principles, developing personal philosophies, using broad perspectives, adapting

openness and honesty, engaging in continuous learning, embracing lifelong

personal and professional development, and being a sustainable leader. The key to

success involves acquiring new knowledge, seeking profound experiences,

expanding one's understanding of realities and possibilities, and developing

positive mindset through demanding roles and responsibilities, interactive

engagements and profound learning.
