Advancing Responsible Leadership

Humanity faces multitude of existential crises which call for bold, wise, and practical leadership. Much has been written about the nature and effectiveness of leadership, including responsible leadership, over the last several decades. While these advancements have enhanced our overall understanding of leadership dynamics in contemporary settings, the emergent knowledge base remains fragmented, not sufficiently audacious, and not easily accessible in an integrated fashion. This book integrates this leadership wisdom using the Responsible Leadership (RL) lens. In doing so, it draws on scientific and practice-based evidence to provide a framework to aid and advance leadership theory, development, and practice. The book synthesizes key concepts, competencies, and examples of RL with the goal of informing leadership thinking and practice in bold and practical ways.
