Two years before the action in Lone Survivor, a Green Berets A Team conducted a very different, successful mission in Afghanistan's notorious Pech Valley. Led by Captain Ronald Fry, the Hammerhead Six mission applied the principles of unconventional warfare to "win hearts and minds" and fight against the terrorist insurgency. In 2003, the Special Forces soldiers entered an area later called "the most dangerous place in Afghanistan." Here, where the line between civilians and armed zealots was indistinct, they illustrated the Afghan proverb: "I destroy my enemy by making him my friend." Fry recounts how they were seen as welcome guests rather than invaders. Soon after their deployment ended, the Pech Valley reverted to turmoil. Their success was never replicated. Hammerhead Six finally reveals how cultural respect, hard work (and the occasional machine-gun burst) were more than a match for the Taliban and Al Qaeda.

This issue features some of the smartest thinking in the world as it relates to the innovation-creating potential of a stakeholder view of the firm. It’s a changing world out there, and we hope this issue provides a sense that it’s time to seize this moment. Corporate citizenship is entering a new phase. We are seeing a coming together of a shareholder view of the firm and a stakeholder view of the firm. We are seeing a shift from stakeholder engagement as defensive and risk-reducing, to creative and innovation-producing — what we call 'generativity'.

Let’s face it: corporate citizenship is not normally the `go to’ discipline for those leaders aiming to inspire, delight, re-frame the game and generate business-uplifting innovation. But all of that may be changing, say the authors of this special issue of the Journal of Corporate Citizenship , as business is embracing design thinking as the next frontier in competitive advantage and as corporate citizenship is rapidly emerging as a catalyst for unexpected, disruptive business innovation.

The link between management education and the development of business leaders with socially responsible mind-sets and values is reaching a important turning point. We are seeing an increased attention to research and education innovation to prepare tomorrow’s leaders with the knowledge, skills and attitudes to act and lead responsibly. These contributions provide models, design ideas and actual experiences that strongly support the idea that management education can rise to the challenge and promise laid out by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in acknowledging the potential of the United Nations Principles for Responsible Management Education and similar innovative stimuli: that `the Principles for Responsible Management Education have the capacity to take the case for universal values and business into classrooms on every continent’.

In a world where just about every corporation is going greener and more socially responsible, and where many have found that building a better world and building a stronger business indeed go hand in hand, it is time for scholars and managers alike to explore the impact of sustainability action on the workforce and people; that is, to study exactly how the quest for sustainable value affects the human side of enterprise. If, as Aristotle observed, we are what we repeatedly do – and if much if not most of our waking lives is spent in the context of organisations – then what happens to us when we are engaged in organisations that are leading and breaking the sustainability barrier?The ten papers in this important issue explore the proposition that the quest for sustainability is the most significant human development opportunity of the 21st century – and that when people learn about and work toward building a sustainable world they too are poised to flourish in ways that elevate innovation, personal excellence and workplace well-being.
