Principled Leadership for Sustainability

Principled leadership is a debt and a duty owed to past and future generations to replenish that which is used. Be honourable and share equally (Mahatma Gandhi). The last twelve months has led to turmoil for all of us from the greatest to the smallest. We feel more uncertain of our individual and collective futures. We can shelter and retreat into what we think has worked in the past or we can grab this opportunity to become more principled leaders (whoever we are) and work for a more ethical and beautiful sustainable world to leave our children. This guide provides you with exercises to examine your current lifestyle, value base and judge yourself and your organization against seven dimensions for principled leadership and sustainability. I then give you some exercises on how to change and create actions for change. You will read four stories of how people from the private, public and not for profit sectors are working to be principled leaders. Enjoy the journey.
