ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on leadership raises awareness about a new state of being and explores the personal development and transformation necessary for the leader if she or he is to help bring about the change to sustainability. Leadership belongs to everyone in the sustainable enterprise. The leadership diamond provides a visual picture of aspects of leadership that are critical for a sustainable enterprise revealing a new way of being that focuses on integrity, mutuality, and sustainability. The leadership process starts with not-knowing and proceeds with an inquiry, learning–action cycle as individuals and units co-create innovative approaches to a sustainable enterprise. The chapter discusses domains of leadership that are critical for leaders to understand, to operate in, and to use. The three domains are relationships and local action; patterns and leverage; and purpose, design, and emergence. Although all leadership for sustainable enterprise has the common characteristics of awareness, not-knowing, inquiry, and learning from actions, different domains require specific perspectives and skills.
