Manager's Toolbox for Inner Development
31 activities to strengthen your team's capacity for sustainability work
About this directory
This directory provides access to 31 practical activities designed to develop the inner capabilities needed for effective sustainability work. The activities are organized into four categories based on time commitment, making it easy to find activities that fit your available time and team needs.
Each activity includes clear instructions, guidance on when to use it, and tips for facilitating effectively. Whether you have five minutes at the start of a meeting or two hours for deep team development, you will find activities suited to your context.
The activities are based on the Inner Development Goals (IDG) framework, which identifies 25 skills across five dimensions—Being, Thinking, Relating, Collaborating, and Acting—that enable individuals and teams to work effectively toward sustainability transformation.
