How to succeed as a new sustainability manager

Leadership for Sustainability

How do you get started as a brand new sustainability manager? Libby Kerman stepped into the newly created role of sustainability manager with Lincolnshire Housing Partnership just a year after university. Now, two years on, she reflects on what she’s achieved and learned.

Libby talks about:

• the achievements she’s most proud of
• who and what helped her succeed
• tackling her next big task: sustainability reporting

Listen for ideas and inspiration to help you make greater progress on sustainability:

• why you sometimes learn most from people who resist change
• how relationships with colleagues across the business have been crucial
• how external networks of peers are so important
• why you shouldn’t worry that you don’t have all the answers
• podcasts that Libby has found useful on her journey
