Topic

Leading with Impact – How to Become a Societal/ Sustainable Leader
Profit, performance, and power – these are just some of the core manifestations surrounding our understanding of leadership. Yet, there is an increasing realization that this externalized focus on leadership is not sustainable – not for the planet, not for our societies, and not for ourselves. In fact, more and more studies find that feelings of emptiness, resignation, and frustration are increasing among workers and managers alike. Against this background, the time seems ripe for a new work culture and a new leadership style; one that prioritizes human resourcefulness and resilience and enables leaders to have a positive impact on their employees, society, and the environment.

We encourage you to participate in this year’s SEF Academy.
Julia Binder is leading you through this programme. She is the Director of the Center for Sustainable and Inclusive Business and Professor of Sustainable Innovation and Business Transformation at IMD. She specializes in teaching and researching the ways in which companies align social, environmental, and economic impact. Named in the 2022 Thinkers50 Radar List, she was previously Deputy to the Vice President for Innovation at EPFL and led the school’s sustainability initiative Tech4Impact.
