Abstract:
Due to the fact that we live in a world that is constantly changing, where technology redefines our lives,
and at present the working environment is characterized by an increasingly alert rhythm, being crowded, subject
to pressures, the mission of higher education. is to create leadership skills for future sustainable leaders. The
educational standards of a society will dictate its degree of success in addressing the complex problems for
promoting sustainable development; the educational level of its leaders directly influences the achievement of
sustainable development goals. A lasting and significant change in the behavior of organizations that tend
towards sustainability must involve the institutions in the education system, especially the academic
environment. Higher education institutions have the role of modeling the attitudes and behaviors of leaders
through entrepreneurial education, through management development programs, training and other ubiquitous
aspects, but less tangible activities, such as spreading and promoting new values and ideas. By these means,
academic institutions have the potential to generate a wave of positive changes, thus contributing to ensuring a
world in which both businesses and societies can flourish. The purpose of this paper is to identify the role of
higher education in creating sustainable leaders in order to benefit from a sustainable society. Thus, using
methods such as literature review and documentation, in this article we have highlighted the relationship
between leadership and sustainability for creating sustainable leadership.
