Managing Resistance to Sustainability Practices

Strategies for Effective Team Leadership

Sustainability has been a front-burner element for companies across various fields in recent times due to the growing consciousness about the environment and the fact that most organizations are moving with their sustainability efforts to greater levels of responsibility. But as organizations look to implement sustainability initiatives, there are those on the team who may present resistance to these changes—and no one is certain exactly what that looks like.
