Steering Committee meeting
Setting the scene: first Steering Committee meeting in Brussels to carify vision and plan of the project
With its Sustainable Leadership Project and thanks to the financial support of the European Commission, CEC European Managers contributes to mainstream sustainable skills, behaviours and values in European management. The project aims at modelling Sustainable Leadership, piloting a training scheme for managers, engaging social partners and policy makers on the topic and creating policy recommendations to mainstream Sustainable Leadership in private and public sector management.
The project is a cooperation among relevant stakeholders working together to make management more sustainable
CEC European Managers and its project partners, who represent together more than 7 million managers in Europe, have commissioned a European survey to assess the level of preparedness and adaptation of European managers for the transition by analysing values, strategies, skills and behaviours. On the basis of the study results, a training programme is being designed to equip European managers of all backgrounds with the necessary competences such as context understanding, materiality assessments, as well as transversal leadership skills such as empathy or mindfulness. Also, the implications of this new reality for trade unions and social partner organisations representing the managerial workforce will be analysed.
The results of the project will help to improve the availability of training programmes for managers in Sustainability, to make it a structural driver for change and impact networks for a sustainable future. And to equip social dialogue actors with new tools and knowledge. Ultimately, a change in management is likely to translate into a better European performance in the environmental, social and economic dimensions of sustainability. As we know, the time is ripe. And as the project’s empirical findings show, managers are ready to put Sustainable Leadership into practice.
