Introduction

Major changes in our world have resulted in the demand for a new type of leadership, one that has long-term sustainability and social responsibility and its core.
This type of leadership is known as Sustainable Leadership.
A Sustainable Leader is one who creates value for all stakeholders of organization, including future generations, and the community. Sustainable leadership is a set of behaviours, practices, and systems that imagine and shape the future. A future for all.
This 2-weeks program is concerned with the strategic planning and the deliberate generation of alternatives.
If one were just looking for the best approach, then one would stop as soon as one found what appeared to be the best approach.
Instead of stopping
However
One goes on with the generation of alternatives for its own sake, purpose of the procedure is to loosen up rigid ways of looking at things, to show that alternative ways are always present if one bothers to look for them, and to acquire the habit of restructuring patterns.
Strategy and strategic management do not occur in a vacuum; they occur within a specific business which has a unique organization structure.
This organization structure is the facilitating framework through which business strategy is implemented and will therefore influence strategic decisions and be affected by those decisions.
