In this multisite case study, we examine the personal capacities of six high school principals who have developed the leadership capacities of other leaders in their respective schools. Participants were purposefully selected by two teams of researchers in two states of the United States, one on the east coast and one on the west coast, who engaged their professional networks of current and former educational leaders to obtain recommendations of high school principals known to develop the leadership capacities of formal and informal leaders in their schools. The findings indicate that the principals possessed a strong commitment to developing leadership capacity, understood leadership development as a process and tolerated risk. This study adds to the rapidly growing corpus of literature focused on distributed leaders by illustrating the complexities of developing leadership capacity in an attempt to increase organizational leadership capacity, and by highlighting the relevant characteristics of principals who have intentionally sought to do so.

The Life Course

This paper explores the lived experience of leadership learning and development in a single case study of an entrepreneur participating in a major leadership development programme for owner–managers of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Based on autobiographical research, it provides a rich contextual account of the nature and underlying influences of leadership learning throughout the life-course and as a consequence of participation in the programme. Whilst the paper should interest scholars, policy makers and those concerned with programme development, it may also resonate with entrepreneurs and help them make sense of their experience of leadership development.

New Perspective

Previous research had already established that sustainable destination outcomes can be realized when stakeholders engage in tourism destination management, yet the state of the needed engagement is still seen as problematic. It is evident that some change is required to enable behavioral change that will awaken a progress. Thus, new knowledge is needed to help advance this important destination management field. The aim of this exploratory case study was to present a new perspective which is underpinned by theories in the leadership and leadership development fields. The case study findings show that tourism-based leadership programs have the capacity to foster development of collective leadership capacity, which is needed to build the effective stakeholder networks that drive change at workplace, tourism destination, and community levels. The study suggests that sustainable development goals and sustained competitive advantage are developed through the bundle of collective leadership capacity and stakeholder causal scope.

Very High

More often than not, responsible investing (RI) is associated with “patient” capital and sustainable development. Venture capital (VC), by its objectives to invest in projects with very high returns and exit quickly the market, is rightly considered as “impatient” capital, and as such, it is a less likely candidate to contribute to sustainability. This chapter advances the argument that VC can indeed contribute to sustainability, should it adopt the ESG factors into its investment criteria. This is illustrated using the case study of a Canadian VC firm, the Cycle Capital Management (CCM). The latter uses strict ESG criteria and rigorous decision-making mechanisms in the screening, evaluation, and the choice of highly lucrative and innovative projects with the aim to contribute to the Canadian economy's sustainability through its efforts to reduce the environmental footprint of its investments. Policy makers and regulators should develop policies that promote the growth and development of venture capital, should they care about sustainability and value creation.

This research finds an approach to support multi-criteria decision-making about the touristic revitalization of the waterfront for the purpose of conservation and sustainable development. The waterfront revitalization strategy is an effective way to preserve the neglected heritage, enhance identity and authenticity, and improve the quality of life. This paper presents a systematic multi-criteria approach and an analytical method in decision-making to revitalize the waterfront of Ezbet El-Borg city, Damietta, Egypt. The waterfront was analyzed according to the criteria of sustainable revitalization. The AHP method was used as an analytical tool to prioritize these criteria to make them measurable, and then suggest an effective strategy for revitalization through the prioritizing alternatives to waterfront functions then used to rank the best prospects for revitalization. The study found the most successful option is to revitalize the historic waterfront of Ezbet El Borg, due to its heritage features. This kind of revitalization plays an essential role in sustainability, as it enhances the city's identity, conservation opportunities, economic development, and quality of life. Applying this approach allows policymakers to develop strategies for waterfront revitalization, and to evaluate the best solutions for the revitalization process with regard to preservation and sustainable development.
