Résumé

While there is a high demand for knowledge on responsible leadership, there has been, till now, no source able to meet that demand. Enron, Worldcom and other high-profile cases of management and leadership misconduct have highlighted the need for such a book to provide crucial insights on key issues including responsible leadership, leadership competencies, and the development of responsible leaders.

Meeting this need, experts in the field of business and leadership ethics have now been brought together to write this vital text - the first of its kind. It answers the challenge of defining responsible leadership in an era of globalization, and as such is highly topical and relevant to all those on the path to becoming responsible leaders. The book is arranged in three main parts:

What is responsible leadership?
What makes a responsible leader?
How to develop responsible leadership in business.

Topical and timely, this first-rate edited collection provides the reader with insights, orienting knowledge and best practice cases in the field, and is essential reading for all business students, academics and professionals concerned with leadership in twenty-first century business.
