i5: didactics towards sustainable leadership

Abstract

Sustainable leadership is a current and important topic. In view of the growing demand for leaders who are aware of the impact of any human activity, omission or neglect on the environment and society, as well as who take concrete actions in harmony with and for the benefit of sustainable development in their professional practice, the question of how to design the teaching process to respond to contemporary conditions becomes urgent. The aim of the article is to present the i5 methodology as an effective way of shaping future leaders of business, politics, and other areas of social and economic life, which is worth implementing within virtually every field of study and on every subject. The article consists of two main parts. In the first part, a discussion was taken up on what sustainable leadership is, based on a literature review. The second part describes the i5 methodology as a concrete proposal for didactics aimed at the development of sustainable leadership. Finally, substantive and research conclusions on the topic are presented.
