The study aims to study how financially sustainable leadership can contribute to creating a balance between long-term sustainability and short-term profitability in companies. By examining leadership methods in companies to succeed with these sometimes conflicting goals, the study aims to identify the strategies and measures that leaders can use to balance sustainable development without sacrificing the company's financial success. Financially sustainable leadership enables a balance between profitability and sustainability by promoting commitment, long-term thinking, smart resource use and innovation. The study shows that leaders who work transparently and inclusively, with a clear focus on the future, can create a culture where employees are allowed to take responsibility, develop and actively contribute to the company's success. Leadership is therefore a crucial factor in succeeding with both financial and sustainable goals.
