Responsibility as a leader is the ability to respond quickly to a
complex and changing business environment. It means using values to make
decisions that not only affect brand trust and corporate reputation, but
impact upon employees and the wider community. In today's increasingly
interconnected world, it is more important than ever that managers can
achieve goals and desired results while still maintaining a degree of
authenticity, ethics and stewardship. The Responsible Leader
identifies what it means to be an authentic leader, taking in
intra-organizational relationships, role modelling and ethical practice.
Addressing the practical challenge of implementing a framework of
corporate social responsibility in an organization that may embrace
thousands of people, The Responsible Leader sets out what this
strategy looks like in practice and advises on creating a new and
hopeful narrative for the future. Drawing on in-depth case studies from
HSBC, PwC, Oasis and Marks and Spencers that chart the journey to
responsible and sustainable management in challenging environments, it
presents a fresh vision for leadership success that goes beyond simple
compliance.
