Green innovation requires unique leadership skills

We turned Lufthansa’s global talent program into an accelerator for hands-on sustainable innovation.

At Lufthansa, 150 top talents are now equipped to drive the sustainability transition.

Rooting green innovation skills at the heart of daily business.

Connecting silos and fueling co-creation of bold solutions.

“This program taught me to see sustainability in everything.”

Learned leadership skills

 

Resilience

Sustainable innovation is rarely linear. Resilience helps leaders adapt, learn from setbacks, and maintain momentum when the path gets tough.

Systems thinking 

Big challenges like climate impact can’t be solved in silos. Leaders need to connect dots across functions, sectors, and timelines.

User-centricity

Real change sticks when it meets real needs. User-centric leaders co-create solutions that are both meaningful and sustainable.
