Overview
Whilst there is a high demand for knowledge on responsible leadership, there is, as of yet, no source able to meet that demand by providing the reader either with crucial insights on what responsible leadership is, or might be, which leadership competencies are needed or how to develop responsible leaders. Experts in the field of business and leadership ethics have been brought together to write this important book. Enron, Worldcom and other high-profile cases of management and leadership misconduct have highlighted the need for such a book. This book answers the challenge of defining responsible leadership in an era of globalization, as such it will be highly topical and relevant to all those studying or wanting to become responsible leaders.
