Sustainability strategy sets clear targets for resource use, emissions, waste, and long-term impact, then assigns accountability for delivery. Leaders prioritize initiatives, fund them, and link progress to operational metrics and incentives. They establish measurement methods, baselines, and review cadences so targets remain credible. Sustainability strategy also includes supplier expectations and risk planning for regulatory or market shifts. Strong strategy turns sustainability goals into measurable operational change. Question: Which sustainability target is most important to translate into near-term operational actions?

Good morning, Leaders, Today’s Leadership Latte is personal. In Episode 56, we’re talking about something more important than strategy, growth plans, or professional success — we’re talking about family. As leaders, we often pour ourselves into our work, our teams, and our responsibilities. But if we’re not intentional, we can win in public while quietly losing at home. In this audio lesson, I challenge you to reflect on a simple but powerful truth: Your greatest legacy will not be your title — it will be the love and presence you gave to the people closest to you. Family is where leadership begins. Family is what grounds us. Family is what remains when the applause fades. Take a few minutes today to listen, reflect, and ask yourself: Are the people who know me best experiencing the best of me? Let’s keep brewing leadership with love, purpose, and presence. —Dr. Joe ☕

Hey Leaders, This week, we’re shining the spotlight on a leader who has redefined what it means to think differently Jesse Cole, owner of the world-famous Savannah Bananas and featured speaker at the Live2Lead Middle Georgia Leadership Summit. Jesse didn’t just build a baseball team. He built a movement. From selling his house to keep the team alive… to creating “Banana Ball” and selling out stadiums nationwide. Jesse has shown the world what happens when you dare to disrupt the norm and lead with vision. His philosophy is simple but powerful: Fans First. Always. In a world where most businesses focus on revenue first, Jesse focused on experience first and the results speak for themselves. What Leaders Can Learn from Jesse Cole: - Innovation requires courage - Failure is part of the formula - Culture wins championships - Stand out or be forgotten Jesse’s leadership proves that when you build something remarkable, people don’t just buy tickets they buy into the mission. And we are excited that he is a featured simulcast speaker at the Live2Lead Middle Georgia Leadership Summit! If you’re serious about growing as a leader, this is where you need to be. You’ll gain insights not just from Jesse, but from world-class leadership voices who are shaping the future of business and culture. We are 4 DAYS AWAY from Live2Lead Middle Georgia. Your leadership growth is worth the investment. Secure your seat today. Because better leaders build better organizations.
