Abstract

“Sustainable development” is a crucial issue that the entire world aims to drive towards achieving. However, survey results reveal that progress has not advanced as planned, leading to the prediction that the goals will not be met by 2030. One of the key factors in driving the mechanism for sustainable development is “leadership,” including leaders and administrators from the public sector, private sector, and civil society. This article presents the concept of “Inner Development Goals” (IDGs), which consist of five dimensions of human inner development: Being, Thinking, Relating, Collaborating, and Acting. In addition, this article analyzes the importance of IDGs in enhancing leadership for driving sustainable development and presents a model for applying IDGs to develop executives in order to create a real impact on the sustainable development of organizations and the world.
