Abstract
This submission presents an innovative pedagogical framework - the Transformative Sustainability
Leadership (TSL) - designed to revolutionize how sustainability and responsible leadership are
embedded within management education. Operating through three interconnected dimensions:
Immersive Challenge-Based Learning Ecosystems, Deep Systems Thinking and Ethical Leadership
Development, and Innovation and Impact Measurement Hub, the practice integrates cutting-edge
technologies with real-world applications. The framework leverages partnerships with global
sustainability leaders, including the UN Global Bodies' AGILE initiative in Nigeria, while
incorporating emerging technologies such as VR/AR and blockchain for impact tracking. Early results demonstrate promising outcomes, with 90% of graduates projected to secure sustainability leadership roles and multiple student-led ventures receiving external funding. The practice addresses contemporary challenges in management education by dismantling traditional silos, establishing measurable impacts, and developing leaders capable of driving systemic change. This approach represents a bold reimagining of management education that places sustainability and responsible leadership at its core, while establishing a replicable model for transformation in business education.
