This study, grounded in secondary literature, examines how leadership principles shape the long-term sustainability strategy of modern enterprises. Anchored in the idea that sustainability is not an accidental by product but a deliberate design choice, the paper explores how various leadership styles--transformational, ethical, servant, and adaptive--serve as strategic levers for embedding environmental, social, and governance (ESG) priorities into organizational culture and operations. By synthesizing global leadership frameworks and sustainability literature, the study highlights the integral role of leadership in guiding purpose-driven innovation, stakeholder trust, ethical governance, and systemic resilience. The findings suggest that sustainability thrives not through isolated initiatives, but through leadership that intentionally aligns vision, values, and decision-making with long-term enterprise goals. This paper proposes a conceptual leadership-sustainability integration model as a blueprint for future research and organizational practice.
