Sustainable Leadership: A Review of Recent Trend

Abstract

Sustainable Leadership emerged as a new leadership paradigm in the sustainability era, starting with the issue of ethical leadership.  Ethical leadership is based on social power, focusing on how leaders use social power. them in making decisions, the actions they take and the way leaders influence others in six attributes, namely character and integrity, ethical awareness, community/people orientation, motivating, encouraging and empowering and managing ethical accountability. Sustainable Leadership is a new paradigm in sustainable leadership which is defined as sustainability regarding the creation of current and future profits for an organization while improving the lives of all parties (JT McCann & Holt, 2010) . Sustainable Leadership emerged as a concept that considers the idea of the Triple Butoon Line perspective(Elkington, 1997) which focuses on organizational leadership that balances people, planet, profit for a sustainable future. This paper explains the concept of sustainable leadership as a new paradigm that leaders need to respond to global challenges in the era of sustainability, reviews how the history of the birth of the concept of sustainable leadership was initiated by the idea of ethical leadership and developed into a new concept in the field of leadership that is strongly oriented towards various stakeholders. and a track record of ongoing leadership research in both developed countries and developing countries. First concept from ethical leadership, the concept of sustainable leadership has developed into a new concept in the field of leadership that synergizes with servant leadership and transformational leadership . The existence of synergy between leadership styles answers a leadership development challenge to look beyond the boundaries of the organization's needs internal and see from the external aspects of the organization and accommodate the needs of future generations. Sustainable leadership has implications for a value-based leadership development model and strategic decision-making that takes into account economic, social and ecological dimensions so that organizations have prosocial, as well as pro-nature, behavior. This sustainable leadership paradigm provides opportunities for future research related to sustainable leadership development that is focused on sustainability issues.
