Leadership: The Critical Skill for Sustainability
Written by Alesha Younghusband Published 27 Jul 2015
We’re very excited to be holding a session at this weekend’s BIG Weekend at the Sustainable Living Festival.
The topic for the session is Leadership: The Critical Skill for Sustainability, and will explore why leadership is key if we’re to make real progress on the sustainability front.
Is a lack of leadership preventing us from acting and what can we do to change this? As Australia’s leaders stall on strong action for a sustainable future, it is time for a new kind of leadership. In this panel we will hear from a panel of leaders on why leadership is the critical skill for sustainability. We’ll explore types of leadership, why it looks different than you might think, and how you can become a leader in your personal life, your workplace and your community.
All the details are here:
