| Title | Searching for the holy grail of management development and sustainability Is shared leadership development the answer? |
| Year | 2013 |
| Published | Journal Of Management Development, 32, 3 |
| Abstract | Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to shed some light on the linkage between leadership and sustainability. Recent scandals involving executive leadership have significantly contributed to the topic of sustainability becoming one of the most important concerns of the management literature in the twenty-first century. Design/methodology/approach - The authors' approach is to review the extant literature and develop a theoretical model of the connection between leadership, in its many forms, and sustainability. Findings - Most treatments of sustainability have focused on glorifying top executives for their sustainability efforts or vilifying them for their lack thereof. The authors claim that this perspective is oversimplified and flawed. Research limitations/implications - The authors develop several readily testable propositions to guide future research. Practical implications - The practical implications of the authors' model are focused on the engagement of employees at work: the philosophical perspective espoused in the model is one founded on empowerment and active involvement. Social implications - The model purports mechanisms through which organizations can develop more robust systems that ultimately can translate into more sustainable organizational practices. Originality/value - The presented model is original in that the authors propose that broadening management development across all levels of organizations, along the lines of shared leadership theory, will facilitate organizational sustainability. |
