Conceptual paper addresses the research question: How can leadership development be managed within organizations? Our proposed answer is presented in the form of conceptual model of sustainable leadership development, based on the theory of multiple intelligences by Howard Gardner and applied to leadership through appreciative inquiry, meaning that leaders possess multiple intelligences which differentiate in their individual profiles and are able to develop a wide span of intelligences during their life span. The main developmental and analytical method that enables the sustainable leadership development through multiple intelligences is action learning where as expected results of the appreciative process participants are creative seekers of positive learning opportunities in active learning environment. Sustainable leadership development model proposes a new creative way in providing for the process and content of leadership development that has sustainability as its core component.
