While there is an element of leadership which is embedded in governance, the concept of responsible leadership goes beyond good governance. Responsible leadership supports the achievement of organization performance, but this is done in a sustainable way, where the planet and people are not sacrificed at the expense of profit.
Responsible leaders act sustainably by focusing on all three Ps (People, Planet, Profit) and investing in innovation that is going to support long terms sustainable growth of the organisation.
Responsible leaders are selfless, are focused on the greater good rather than "selfish" personal interests and have a strong commitment to ethics.
