LLP304 Module Title: Sustainability and Leadership in Sport Organisations

/in /by

Assignment
Based on a review of the leadership literature it could be argued that sustainability
leadership – or more precisely, leadership for sustainability – is not a separate school of
leadership thought, but a particular blend of leadership characteristics applied within a
definitive context. The Cambridge University Sustainability Leadership Institute offers a
definition of sustainability leaders suggesting they are individuals who are compelled to
make a difference by deepening their awareness of themselves in relation to the world
around them. In doing so, they adopt new ways of seeing, thinking and interacting that
result in innovative sustainable solutions. This would suggest that sustainability leadership is
implicitly about creating change.
You must prepare a 2000 word essay. This is a strict word count (no overage allowed). Using
the above commentary as a starting point, identify a prominent sport figure and critically
analyse if they can be considered a sustainability leader. This should be done using
numerous academic and industry references to appropriately justify your positions
throughout the document. Your selection of sport person to analyse should be cleared with
the module tutor for this assessment.
