1. Sustainable Leadership: The History & Implications of an Emerging Consciousness ATTD 6200: Leadership Development in Applied Technology & Training Laura Pasquini
5. Sustainability is the capacity to endure... For humans, sustainability is the potential for long-term maintenance of well being, which has environmental, economic, and social dimensions. Leadership has been described as the “process of social influence in which one person can enlist the aid and support of others in the accomplishment of a common task”…. According to Ken "SKC" Ogbonnia, "effective leadership is the ability to successfully integrate and maximize available resources within the internal and external environment for the attainment of organizational or societal goals.” c/o Wikipedia.com
10. Sustainable leadership matters, spreads and lasts. It is a shared responsibility, that does not unduly deplete human or financial resources, and that cares for and avoids exerting negative damage on the surrounding educational and community environment. Hargreaves & Fink, 2000
Hargeaves Seven Principles of Sustainability: 1. Depth (learning organizations) 2. Length (acting with both long- and short-term goals in mind, especially in terms of succession) 3. Breadth (collaborating instead of competing) 4. Justice (leadership that accounts for the bigger picture rather than one small piece of the pie) 5. Diversity (equilibrium equals death in a living system) 6. Resourcefulness (using resources and energy—both human and traditional—so they are not depleted) 7. Conservation (preserving purpose and organizational wisdom to learn)
Fullen's Eight Elements of Sustainability: 1. Public service with a moral purpose (supportive, responsive, and demanding depending on the circumstances) 2. Commitment to changing context at all levels (creating a community around new beliefs, where they can be practiced, expressed, and nurtured) 3. Lateral capacity building through networks (collaborating instead of competing) 4. Intelligent accountability and vertical relationships (encompassing both capacity building and accountability) 5. Deep learning (reduce fear of failure, reduce assessment demands & ensure a range of data is collected both quantitative and qualitative, members at all levels of the system continue to learn) 6. Dual commitment to short-term and long-term results (holding the tension between the two) 7. Cyclical Energizing (contrary to conventional leadership wisdom: manage energy instead of time, seek stress instead of avoiding it, life is a series of sprints rather than a marathon, downtime as productive instead of wasted, purpose fuels performance instead of rewards) 8. The long lever of leadership
