Hargreaves and Fink (2006) lay out a radical agenda for shaping the capacity of school systems to engage in continuous improvement. Their seven principles of sustainability in concert focus on sustainable leadership as the solution:
- Depth (sustainable leadership matters)
- Length (sustainable leadership lasts)
- Breadth (sustainable leadership spreads)
- Justice (sustainable leadership does no harm to and actively improves the surrounding environment)
- Diversity (sustainable leadership promotes cohesive diversity)
- Resourcefulness (sustainable leadership develops and does not deplete internal and human resources)
- Conservation (sustainable leadership honours and learns from the best of the past to create an even better future: pp.19-20)
