Wendy K. Smith is the Dana J. Johnson professor of management and faculty director of the Women’s Leadership Initiative at the Lerner College of Business and Economics, University of Delaware. As we navigate the complexities of sustainability and sustainable development goals, Wendy sheds light on the challenges that arise when making overarching commitments.


Tune in as we discuss:

  • Integrating sustainability goals with profitability for businesses
  • When is it necessary to prioritise profit versus ethical considerations?
  • The concept of "tightrope walking" as a strategy
  • Both/and thinking versus either/or thinking
  • Embracing serendipity and being open to new experiences in decision-making
