Leadership is an extremely important commitment. That is why there are
so few truly great leaders on the planet at any given time. Great
leadership hinges on a dedication and commitment to learning -- the type
of learning that demands a willingness to traverse the divide between
success and failure. Leadership provokes thoughtfulness and contemplation so that the
knowledge you have acquired can be successfully interpreted and passed
forward in service to inspire and uplift others.

As current studies confirm, more and more consumers in the Asian-Pacific region are seeking out sustainably produced products and are willing to spend more money for them. Environmentally conscious consumers, who are increasingly forcing dealers and manufacturers to minimise waste and energy consumption, are taking the offensive throughout the world. The “LOHASians” are currently embracing this “green” consumption at a rapid tempo and are stimulating the billion-dollar business even more strongly worldwide.

When thinking about the future
of sustainable products, services and lifestyles, for instance, I’m
interested in world project groups like The Millennium Project or
business think tanks like LOHAS who are committed to charting and
influencing our collective journey on the path of sane approaches to
healthy, sustainable living on our planet. By sane, I’m referring to
the evolutionary idea of “adaptability,” namely, having a greater sense
of leveraging our unique, inventive brain power in proportion to actual
material resources; in other words, daring to acknowledge our
relationship to the planetary and social whole.*

t the Sustainable Brands '09 conference in Monterey earlier this month, I couldn't help noticing how far green marketing has come since I started my consulting business in 1989. Back then, we didn't call what we did "sustainable branding" — we practiced "environmental" or simply "green" marketing. And we didn't have a conference to go to in Monterey!
