The CAVE Approach© 

A holistic and inclusive Sustainable Leadership Model

  • The need

    Today, there is an urgent need for sustainable development which calls for a new type of leadership; the sustainable leadership. Sustainable leadership does not simply refer to the application of sustainable practices that promote definite environmental, economic and social goals and specifications; in an environment of constant change, sustainable leadership refers to the total functioning of individual people in every context at every point in time. Specifically, it refers to a double capability; a) the capability to identify the attitudes, behaviors and actions that promote sustainability at every point in time in any particular context, and b) the capability to apply them in practice. 

  • The value

    The CAVE Approach© combining the Aristotelian Ethical Theory with the systemic nature of development, offers an inclusive and holistic model of Sustainable Leadership, using the virtues as the universal and timeless criteria of sustainable functioning. The virtues criteria will offer you guidance to identify the attitudes, behaviors and actions that serve sustainability in every context at any particular time. Also, the CAVE Approach© provides the framework for the development of the virtues, or differently the "sustainability skills", which ensure your capability to respond, behave and act sustainably, and it does so in a personalized way.

  • The how

    The CAVE Approach© refers to a pioneering methodology for the development of 14 Aristotelian virtues as a means to consistently apply Sustainable Leadership so that to promote success and happiness in professional and personal life in ways that also promote and protect environmental and social sustainability. Actually, it is the first comprehensive methodology for the systematic and structured development of the Aristotelian virtues in the modern world.
