Christoph Lueneburger, head of the sustainability practice at Egon Zehnder, the executive search and strategy company, says that boards and executives are all discussing the problems that make up the sustainability dialog, "even if they're not using the word 'sustainability.’ The most complex CEOs have an intuitive understanding which their companies are portion of a larger context, and include the responsibility that entails.

He became interested in sustainability is turning into a corporate subject, embedded in the way companies make tactical decisions. Board development is supported by Egon Zehnder, also it made sense to start a sustainability practice, since sustainability needs a board-level dialogue. Lueneburger spoke with MIT Sloan Management Review's Michael S. Hopkins about what he's learned after reviewing 25,000 evaluations of leaders, and why the brightest executives are now searching out 'horse whisperers,' people who'll send them signs about how their businesses are really being received.
