COLLECTIVE LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE 3
Collective leaders create pathways for collaboratively finding innovative solutions to the challenges of sustainability and for
implementing them in a spirit of collective responsibility.
This includes collaborative action and collective input into the creation of a future that many can own.
They know that this requires personal maturity as much as the capacity to lead structural change.

Defining Collective Leadership for Sustainability
Collective leadership for sustainability is the capacity of a group of leaders to deliver their contribution to a more sustainable future through assuming joint and flexible leadership in service of the common good. At the core of collective leadership is the human capacity to dialogue and transform differences into progress. It enables the transcendence of self-centered views, a prerequisite for successfully addressing the challenges of globalization and sustainability.

Building our capacity for Collective Leadership for Sustainability
In building this capacity we need to travel an inner path and an outer path, and we need to do this in conjunction with fellow-leaders who are also prepared to take responsibility for a more sustainable future. Both paths are intertwined, traveling the inner path prepares us for the outer path, traveling the outer path strengthens the inner path.

Following the inner path . . .
Collective Leadership Institute
The inner path is the basis for the way we place ourselves in the context of the task and our way of leading. As a result we participate more
consciously in the movement towards regeneration and sustainability.
How do we strengthen our capacity to engage?
How can we spot innovative solutions?
How do we develop our capacity to lead future possibilities?

Following the outer path . . .
Collective Leadership Institute
The outer path is the engine for the way we drive the change in consciousness and behavior. With our individual competence and expertise
we can lead towards sustainability in conjunction with others – and make a difference.

How can we acces our own humanity?
For me, collective responsibility is responsibility shared. I don’t deny hierarchy, there could be hierarchy, but it is more … that whatever position you have you share the entire concern of the endeavor and then from that vantage point you are committed to complete your contribution.

Is collective leadership possible? You know, it is out there and has always been … it keeps the world in balance, barely, but still … It is enormously powerful and if one pays attention to that, that aspect of oneself, then suddenly one sees and hears how many others there are and how powerful it is, for me it is like a big stream, a river of interconnectedness … of people who have a similar sense of responsibility and a similar focus.

I do believe collective leadership is possible, I think it is probably the only viable option for the future. There might be times when command and control are needed. But I think collective leadership is not only possible but healthy. I think of it as the way nature operates … as much complexity as needed and as much simplicity as needed, an adaptive system.
