Description

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.

Reviews

“Responsible leadership is needed now more than ever. Yet what it entails, and how it can be authentically enacted, has remained elusive. Drawing on both scientific research and practice-based evidence, Professor Tirmizi distills a fragmented literature into a coherent framework that illuminates responsible action in context and offers valuable guidance for leaders in a poly-crisis world.”
- Kevin B. Lowe, Chair, Board of Directors, The International Leadership Association, Professor in Leadership, The University of Sydney Business School

"Tirmizi delivers an unflinching look at the throughline of concurrent social, political, and environmental crises: a dearth of responsible leadership. His book calls for integrity, collaboration, humanity, and care with the same rigor as profit, and offers a vital and practical guide for modern leadership our world so urgently needs.”
- Meighen Speiser, Executive Director, eco, America

“Integrating wisdom into responsible leadership is much needed in our troubled world, and Advancing Responsible Leadership’s approach does just that in a way that is accessible and practical.”
- Sandra Waddock, Galligan Chair of Strategy & Professor of Management, Boston College
