| One of the most important and neglected aspects of leadership is sustainability. In this latest addition to the Jossey-Bass Leadership Library in Education, Andy Hargreaves and Dean Fink set out a compelling and original framework of seven principles for sustainable leadership characterized by --
1. Depth--learning and real achievement over superficial measures
2. Length--impact over the long haul
3. Breadth--leadership is a distributed responsibility
4. Justice--actions that do no harm and actively improve the surrounding environment
5. Diversity--cohesive diversity over standardization
6. Resourcefulness--develops and does not deplete material and human resources
7. Conservation--honors and learns from the best of the past to create an even better future.
