紧迫的可持续性挑战需要跨学科和跨学科机构的有效领导。基于20个ITD机构领导人和具体案例研究的不同经验，本文从多种途径中提炼出关键的经验教训，以建立成功的计划。这些经验教训反映了我们小组所经历的成功和失败，建议如何培养适当和有效的领导，并为领导ITD计划创造必要的资源。我们提出了两种截然不同的路径走向ITD组织：一个是建立一个新的组织，另一个是合并现有的组织。我们说明了如何从现实世界的重点，ITD组织的轨迹的多个例子受益。我们丰富的国际经验表明，如何培养适当的领导素质和技能，特别是创造和促进超越现状的愿景的能力;合作领导和伙伴关系;共享文化;与多个受众沟通;适当的监测和评价;以及毅力。我们确定了五种成功的资源：（1）智力资源;（2）机构政策;（3）财政资源;（4）物质基础设施;（5）管理委员会。我们根据我们在支持成功和从失败中学习方面的丰富经验提供插图，并提供一个框架，阐明跨学科和跨学科组织中领导力的主要方面：学习，支持，分享和培训。
Urgent sustainability challenges require effective leadership for inter- and trans-disciplinary (ITD) institutions. Based on the diverse experiences of 20 ITD institutional leaders and specific case studies, this article distills key lessons learned from multiple pathways to building successful programs. The lessons reflect both the successes and failures our group has experienced, to suggest how to cultivate appropriate and effective leadership, and generate the resources necessary for leading ITD programs. We present two contrasting pathways toward ITD organizations: one is to establish a new organization and the other is to merge existing organizations. We illustrate how both benefit from a real-world focus, with multiple examples of trajectories of ITD organizations. Our diverse international experiences demonstrate ways to cultivate appropriate leadership qualities and skills, especially the ability to create and foster vision beyond the status quo; collaborative leadership and partnerships; shared culture; communications to multiple audiences; appropriate monitoring and evaluation; and perseverance. We identified five kinds of resources for success: (1) intellectual resources; (2) institutional policies; (3) financial resources; (4) physical infrastructure; and (5) governing boards. We provide illustrations based on our extensive experience in supporting success and learning from failure, and provide a framework that articulates the major facets of leadership in inter- and trans-disciplinary organizations: learning, supporting, sharing, and training.
