Sustainable leadership is dead. Long live regenerative leadership!
If you've been following the sustainability agenda at all, you've likely heard the term "regenerative" being linked to both business and leadership.
Wal-Mart declared it would be a regenerative business back in 2020.
Fast Company ran an article on "regenerative brands" the same year.

I have come to see that regenerative leadership, which in our Self-To-System leadership curriculum we see as one of the last areas that truly #transformational leaders must journey into, is perhaps the zenith of leadership wisdom, discernment, nobility, and lasting power.

We need courageous leadership that is both humble and adaptable, open to sharing ownership and creating radical opportunities to those generationally stripped of their natural rights by colonialism and toxic supremacy
