Description
Sustainable leadership refers to a management approach that prioritises long-term ecological, social, and economic aspects in decision-making processes. However, in an era marked by frequent disruptions, organisational leaders face the formidable multi-cultural challenges of balancing immediate survival with long-term sustainability goals. Often, this dilemma forces many organisations to deprioritise long-term sustainability goals, focusing instead on short-term operational and financial strategies essential for immediate survival.This research explores this critical dilemma through a case study of Le Méridien Hotel in Bangkok. Le Méridien, Bangkok provides a compelling, intercultural context due to its proactive stance on sustainability embedded in its corporate and operational ethos, and its location in a region prone to economic and cultural challenges. The research examines how its management team navigates the intersection of crisis management and sustainable practices during the COVID-19 pandemic, especially where immediate financial health, employee safety concerns, international customer expectations for service quality, and stakeholder pressure for immediate results are paramount.
