Kurt is an active writer and content contributor for the firm on sustainability, ESG, and sustainable leadership.
In this episode, Kurt describes the four key leadership dimensions of a sustainable mindset, and how Russell Reynolds Associates worked with the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) to identify the business leadership competencies that are necessary to effectively execute the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We talk about how to identify existing and future leaders with sustainable mindsets and why it is important for executives across the business, especially at the Board-level, to have them. We also discuss the emergence of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) as a strategic business imperative and the increasing need for sustainable leadership capabilities at the center of the business, to help their organizations connect the dots between their business operations, ESG, and SDG strategies.
