“…Employee knowledge and understanding of CS have been highlighted as barriers (Latapi et al, 2021;Moktadir et al, 2018;Murillo-Luna et al, 2011;Trianni et al, 2017). Stakeholder relationships are a critical aspect of CS (Sumanasiri, 2020). Companies struggle to implement initiatives without the support of their supply chain partners; indeed, a company's efforts can only be as successful as the weakest link in its chain (Gurzawska, 2020).…”

Sustainability is critical to the future success of businesses; those that do not implement sustainability initiatives may lose customers, investors, and/or profits. This study examines barriers to corporate sustainability, measured through the four dimensions of the Prism of Sustainability (environmental, social, economic, and institutional), a framework of sustainability not commonly used in business research. An online survey of sustainability managers from a variety of industries in the United States distributed in the spring of 2021 yielded a total of 361 responses. Results reveal that lack of leadership and lack of governance were the most predominant barriers to corporate sustainability. Surprisingly, the most frequently cited barrier in the literature—resources—was not identified as a significant barrier for U.S. companies. The impact of the pandemic was also qualitatively explored to see if such constraints might have a nuanced effect on corporate sustainability efforts. This research expands the contexts in which the Prism of Sustainability is applied in business studies, highlighting it as a means to assess corporate sustainability. Results provide important managerial implications, highlighting the importance of measures to govern the organization’s sustainability effort and the critical role leadership plays. Sustainable management is a necessity for business, and therefore, addressing barriers to achieving it will be imperative for companies’ futures.

“…The literature often suggests that organisational sustainability is clearly linked with responsible leadership, because sustainability leadership and responsible leadership both prioritise issues such as corporate governance practices, ethical practices and economic objectives while responding via justice-based relationships towards non-core stakeholders of the organisation [109,110].…”

This review of literature explores the literature on the concept of organisational leadership which is dedicated to the leader’s commitment to ensuring the common good. A hundred and eighty four articles were identified that focused on six main types of leadership, namely, transformational leadership, ethical leadership, spiritual leadership, responsible leadership, servant leadership and authentic leadership. These approaches to leadership focus on difference aspects of organisational leadership, on its ethicality, morality, spirituality and sustainability. Effort has been also made to identify how a leader uses these values to influence his/her followers and the current challenges faced by each type of leader discussed. This paper further explores the contemporary leadership issues under each approach. Overall, it was found that over the years, organisational leadership studies that focused on the common good were complex and emerging and that this subject has attracted the attention of many leadership researchers. However, there are still areas coming under these diverse leadership approaches which should be continuously researched. Therefore, the paper concludes with possible avenues for future research in this field.
