In this video, our Institute’s founders, Dr Gayle Avery and Dr Harry Bergsteiner, discuss sustainable leadership at the organisational and national levels. Gayle opens by pointing out that many highly successful companies already use sustainable leadership practices, some of which are household names. After analysing these sustainable enterprises for the study tours she and Harry ran, they developed the theory and practice of Sustainable Leadership.
Gayle explains that sustainable leadership is derived from 23 evidence-based practices such as being ethical, taking a long term view, and valuing all stakeholders including the community, the environment and future generations. Gayle then shows the dynamic nature of the Sustainable Leadership Pyramid as a framework for changing to more sustainable practices.
Harry demonstrates that sustainable leadership practices also work at the national level by sharing his extensive research into country competitiveness. He re-ranked 104 countries using mainly World Bank data in a study designed to overcome the flaws in commonly-used rankings as found in the World Economic Forum’s Global Competitiveness Reports, for example.
Those countries that follow sustainable leadership practices outperform other countries economically, socially and ecologically, contrary to current ideology based on flawed methodology. This means that we should be looking to the northern European countries for role models rather than to the US or UK.
