Die Forschungen über Sustainable Leadership schliessen vielfach an die Diskussionen über Kompetenzen für eine nachhaltige Entwicklung an und suchen die Kompetenzbestandteile (Dispositionen), die Führungskräfte haben müssten, um ein Unternehmen nachhaltiger zu führen. Umgang mit Komplexität und Moral stehen dabei im Vordergrund. In diesem Beitrag werden hingegen aus der ressourcenorientierten Nachhaltigkeitsperspektive zum einen Performanzen abgeleitet, die notwendig sind, um ein ressourcenabhängiges System gesund zu erhalten. Zum anderen werden neue Entscheidungsprämissen formuliert, die zusätzlich zu den vorhandenen den Rahmen für ein nachhaltiges Unternehmen bilden. Sustainable Leadership wird dabei als Aufgabe verstanden, das neu entstandene Prämissengerangel konstruktiv zu sortieren.

Arguably the path to becoming a sustainable business begins with acting in a socially responsible manner with respect to the company’s labor practices. One of the most important contributions that a business can make to society is creating jobs, paying wages and other compensation for work performed and providing meaningful and productive work to promote human development and improve standards of living. This chapter discusses how the social responsibilities of businesses with respect to their labor practices are being addressed through the evolving discipline of “sustainable” human resources management (HRM) and the role that HRM professionals can play in training and directing workers in carrying out their individual roles and responsibilities with respect to sustainability and initiating and administering programs and practices that enhance the long-term physical, social and economic well-being of workers.

While the interest in applying the principles of sustainable development to the business world has exploded over the last few decades, and companies have increasingly focused efforts on introducing or changing policies, products and/or processes to address pollution, minimize resource use, and to improve community and stakeholder relations, many have argued that the only way an organization can truly and fully respond to environmental and social challenges and become sustainable is to undergo a significant cultural change and transformation that leads to the development and maintenance of a sustainability-oriented organizational culture. This chapter describes the research that has been conducted on the influence of organizational culture on the implementation of sustainability and discussed various frameworks and recommendations for embedding sustainability into organizational culture.
