Abstract

This chapter on responsible leadership and good governance appears in an edited book on responsible. It pays particular attention to the role of directors and boards and the achievement of responsible outcomes in relation to existential threats and, like other chapters, the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Its different sections cover contemporary challenges and future requirements, addressing arenas of growing importance, reviewing purpose, priorities and practices, balancing contending and shared interests, compliance and risk, accepting wider responsibilities, and achieving required transitions to more sustainable and inclusive operations, activities and lifestyles. It concludes that more collaborative and responsible leadership and adaptable, agile, diverse and innovative forms of governance are required
