Practicum in Innovative Sustainability Leadership

Managers have a key role to play in advancing sustainability by developing ways to integrate resource conservation and efficiency in the operations of their organizations, and by managing environmental risk. These functions raise familiar management questions: how to make sustainability strategic, how to motivate staff, how to set targets and measure performance, and how to pay for new initiatives. This new class systematically exposes students to the ways in which leading sustainability practitioners manage these issues in practice.
