It can be easy to assume that sustainable leaders have always had an innate passion for sustainability. Yet our research shows this is not always true. Sustainable leaders are not just born. They are also made.
For some, a major event leads to a pivotal moment of realization that challenges their worldview. For others, a series of small experiences creates a domino effect that changes the trajectory of their careers—and their lives.
