Superheroes
Are you in touch with your inner sustainability superhero? Today, during an interview for the Getting in the Loop podcast, I was reminded of my work on purpose-inspired leadership. For my doctoral research, I asked sustainability leaders what motivates them in their life and work. It turns out we all want to make a positive difference, but in different ways. Like the Fantastic Four, there are four types of purposeful leader: Experts, Facilitators, Catalysts and Activists. To know your natural changemaker type, ask yourself if you are trying to change the world through knowledge, people, organizations or social movements.
