The responsible leader: developing a culture of responsibility in an uncertain world
"Responsibility as a leader is the ability to respond quickly to a complex and changing business environment. It requires leaders to use their values to make business decisions that not only affect brand trust and corporate reputation, but also impact employees, clients, and the wider community. Leadership development expert Tim Richardson explores the role of responsible leadership in an organization and offers a framework for how to incorporate it into company culture. He identifies what it means to be an authentic leader, taking into account intra-organizational relationships, role modelling and ethical practice. Richardson challenges common-held beliefs established from traditional management methods, and he provides the practical steps needed to achieve organizational change.
