Sustainable Leadership

Sustainability is no longer spoken just in the environmental context. The notion of sustainable leadership — leadership that matters, spreads and lasts — is increasingly recognized across social and private sectors. Sustainable leadership is a shared responsibility that doesn’t deplete human or financial resources and cares for and avoids negatively impacting surrounding community. Sustainable leadership occurs through active engagement and builds a culture of inclusion that promotes cross-fertilization of good ideas and successful practices. At this session, we’ll explore our ability to lead sustainably — both personally and collectively.

January 10 Portland CIEE 12:00 - 1:30 p.m.
January 10 Midcoast Amalfi on the Water, Rockland 6:00 - 7:30 p.m. (Facilitated by Mish Morgenstern) Attendees are welcome to arrive at 5:15 for networking and to enjoy tapas from the Amalfi menu.

Human Webs

The notion of zero-sum games is a popular way of constructing our world: if business wins, the environment loses; if girls succeed, boys fail; if women lead, men lose. Recent evidence, however, demonstrates that we live in a world where our interconnections and our desire to find “both/and” solutions generate beneficial partnerships and better outcomes. Join us to discuss how we bring integrated thinking into our leadership, work with others to understand the potential and break through traditional notions of zero-sum to demonstrate the power and possibility of our human webs.
