Leaders pursuing sustainable strategies recognize “you can’t do it alone.” Achieving sustainability goals often requires collaboration beyond organizational boundaries, which calls for different leadership skills and new ways of organizing collective action. For example, how can organizations tackling similar challenges in greening their operations learn from each other to spread adoption of best practices more quickly? How can companies, governments, and non-profit groups work together to create the policies required to enable progress on large-scale complex challenges such as climate change?

Working collaboratively in networks is imperative if we want to achieve the scale of transformation necessary to make our organizations, communities, and ecosystems sustainable.
