Abstract: Purpose – To examine the leadership requirements and challenges that need to be considered for future organizational sustainability.

Practical implications – The benefits of polylogue are outlined in terms of future leader development and staff retention through accommodating a co-operative working environment. Originality/value – Pursuing multiple “fierce conversations”; through polylogue, but in a constructive manner, is positioned to effectively realize competitive advantage
