S5-Ep3: How do Leadership and The Environment Connect?

Guest: Rian Satterwhite & Kathleen Allen

Our guests represent multiple frameworks on leadership and the environment. They would like leaders to consider the biosphere as one of the primary frames of leadership. During the interview, they discuss how to apply these frameworks in practice in ways that are practical. Kathy's book: Leading From The Roots is about nature inspired leadership lessons that help us create more generous, resilient and sustainable organizations (sustainable including kind to the earth). They describe their independent work and how they approach this complex set of challenges we currently face. Kathy coming from organizational perspective with senior leaders and Rian with university students. Like a forest, diversity in approach strengthens the field of study and impact they will both make. Both of our guests co-chair the ILA sustainability leadership group. They have a strong commitment to build people teaching and leading in this area.
