The course is part of Statsraad Lehmkuhl's circumnavigation One Ocean Expedition. The leg goes from Tokyo (Yokohama) to Okinawa (Naha) in Japan. During the crossing, the participants work as active participants in the crew on board, in combination with course activity. This combination of course and sailing offers unique experiences and relationships. Together you will experience challenges as they come, operate one of the largest and most sustainable sailing ships in the world and have a unique nature experience.
The content of the course is based on relevant theory, which form the foundation for a broad understanding of sustainable management. For example, Hargreaves and Fink (2006)'s presentation of seven basic principles for sustainable management is included.
In the initial phases of the course, participants learn about what sustainable leadership is, and how this management philosophy has been understood in the literature. Then, the aim of the course is to allow participants to explore sustainable management "from the inside out"; The participants co-create an understanding of sustainable management - and what opportunities and challenges exist within this concept. What does sustainable management mean in my organization?
In collaboration with the other course participants and skilled instructors, the individual is challenged to further develop their leadership identity and leadership role in a sustainable perspective. Some examples of reflection could be questions such as:
- In what way can I, as a leader, contribute to the constructive and sustainable development of the organization and its environment, locally and globally?
- How can I as a leader contribute to the constructive development of my employees?
- How am I perceived in the leadership role?
- What challenges and opportunities can leadership in a sustainable, international and diverse setting bring about? How can I as a leader meet these in a good way?
