Abstract

The concept of sustainable development focuses on meeting the intersecting environmental, economic, and social needs. Due to the complexity and multifaceted nature of sustainability management, organizations have to mobilize resources and capabilities to deal with the scale and scope of such goals. This chapter examines the drivers of sustainability and focuses on macro- and micro-orientations that influence the performance of the organizations in achieving the sustainability goals. The focus is on how the servant leadership style can be an essential driving mechanism for sustainability goals. The chapter underlines various characteristics of the servant leadership style that makes it one of the finest styles to deal with sustainability issues. Furthermore, it elaborates how servant leaders help generate individual and organizational capabilities that can drive the organization toward the goal of sustainable development.
