First you nead to realize this concept through thought, then you need to FEEL…
Thanks to all for your recent contributions to this discussion.
I think we all know how complicated leadership for sustainability is, given the complexities of our world today.

I don't have answers at this point but would love to join in on the conversation. Our Alaska Native villages are in crisis mode what with the high cost of fuel, shortage of jobs and out-migration of young people. Let's connect!

Folks, This is not the piece I've been working on, but it gives some perspective on building leadership for sustainability in schools, U.S. style: http://www.dailyyonder.com/speak-your-piece-longer-school-year-and-better/2009/10/30/2421

Peter,
Thank you for sharing the Mathieu piece. It covers intellectual ground similar to where I have been traveling. I hope to upload a paper I've been working on soon to share with you and others.
I am also glad to hear about the NZ experience.…

- Please share something about yourself, your work, and what draws you to the ALIA community.
- The ALIA community interests me because of: 1) its philosophical roots, and 2) the possibility for building research and practice relationships/networks around leadership for rural community sustainability -- that is working with local leaders to help their communities recognize the vital connections between land and people.
Don't let the necktie in the picture fool you; I'm not that stuffy.

Timothy Collins said… - Hi, Gabrielle. Leadership for sustainability is really a new area for me, part of a rural land use curriculum I've been working on for quite some time. I'll be posting a piece shortly that talks about sustainability values that underpin the leadership piece. I guess you'll be automatically notified when I get there, probably next week.
Meanwhile, what type of work do you do?
