BSR Insight | Christine Bader on Leadership for a Changing World
To examine the theme of the BSR Conference 2011 and the BSR Report 2010, we are featuring a series of guest blogs from global sustainability and business leaders on the forms of leadership needed today. In our most recent post, Christine Bader, who just joined BSR as an advisor on human rights, shares what “redefining leadership” for sustainability means to her:
“Stop calling number-crunching a ‘hard’ skill and stakeholder engagement a ‘soft’ skill. Anyone can learn Excel in a few hours. Real leadership means not just listening to stakeholders—which seems difficult enough for many companies—but engaging in real dialogue with them. And then taking what is emerging from that dialogue and acting on it.”
