Abstract(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.
