- Responsible leadership and/versus responsible managementPublication . Marques, Tânia M.G.; Gomes, Jorge F.S.Responsible leadership is an emerging topic in the leadership literature. It deals with a broad spectrum of relationships, as it expands the focus of classic leadership theories – which are confined to leaderfollowers interactions – to the interfaces between leaders, on one hand, and various internal and external stakeholders, on the other hand. Consequently, responsible leadership explores concepts such as responsibility, ethics, sustainability, and stakeholders’ interests, in order to understand the mutual influences amongst all those groups that are to some degree relevant to the organisation. The study of responsible leadership sheds light on how institutions, companies, leaders, employees and individuals develop a more holistic, inclusive and responsible management approach in organisational settings. The current chapter advances some reflexions on responsible leadership and its link to responsible management. The main argument is that responsible leadership is of outmost relevance to understanding the individual component of the responsible management concept.
- Responsible Management Through Responsible Education: The Central Role of Higher-Education LecturersPublication . Gomes, Jorge; Marques, TâniaThe ambition underlying the Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) is not trivial. Stating that “PRME engages business and management schools to ensure they provide future leaders with the skills needed to balance economic and sustainability goals” (https://www.unprme.org/about) is an exceptional objective for several reasons. First, it will be a colossal task to persuade the existing 16,000 business and management programs all over the world to adhere to the PRME. Second, business and management schools are historically designed to perpetuate a particular economic model, in which words such as profit, growth, and competition are far more culturally entrenched than sustainability, responsibility, and cooperation. Third, even if change starts at an institutional level, the challenge of cascading down change to the individual level will be extraordinary. Fourth, the rapid and recent evolution of digital and remote learning has brought new issues into play, such as the roles of trust and influence in a virtual education environment.
