Responsible leadership A leader who gets "…superior sustainable results
the right way"
"…how you deliver results has a profound impact on the long-term health of the enterprise."
"…fairness, honesty, a long and hard view." – - John Wells, president of IMD Business School, Lausanne

Responsible leadership (Pless and Mack, 2011)
Value-based and long-term leader-stakeholder relationships (not leader-subordinate relationships)
Responsible leaders build "sustainable relationships with stakeholders…to achieve mutually shared objectives based on a vision of business as a force for good" to achieve sustainable social change for the many [common good] "and not just a few (shareholders, managers). "
NOT an ego trip!
16
Ethical leadership (Pless and Mack, 2011)
Leader as a positive role model who acts according to value-based standards and uses principles of moral reasoning in decisions
Focuses on the micro-level, the individual characteristics of a leader, and not on the relationships and multi-level outcomes which characterize responsible leadership.
17
Moral managementWith respect to shareholders-customers-employees-community
Immoral managers
Amoral managers
Moral managers
1818
Moral management Immoral managers
Active negation of what is moral Exploit opportunities for themselves and their company Example: Top management of Enron before company's
collapse
Amoral managers Insensitive to potential long-term consequences of their
actions Lack of ethical awareness Believe business and morality don't mix Ex: Leadership of Total after Erika oil spill
Moral managers Ethics drive their behavior Want to be profitable only if fairness & justice are respected Obeying the law is the minimum, not the standard Ex: CEO of Johnson & Johnson duringTylenol scandal

3 leadership conceptsRelated to responsible leadership
Servant leadership
Authentic leadership
Spiritual leadership
2020
Servant leader Others-centered: Focused on followers' success, not ego
building Participative Leads by example Humble
Self-critical, admits mistakes Is a life-long learner Gives credit to the team
Responsible leadership Goes beyond the team Serves the broader organizational purpose and focus, through
stakeholder relationships, on the broader needs of society

Servant leadership "He (Tony Dungy) tries to lead through service, and I do the
same. I learned that from him in providing the men what they need to be great. Every day when I go to work, I don't think about things I have to do, I think about the things I can do to make my men successful. So I have a servant's mentality in terms of how I approach my job, and I get that from Coach Dungy."
(Many leaders have a mentor)

22
Authentic leaders Influence, energize, and develop followers
through: Self awareness: deep understanding of values,
emotions, motives, goals, identity Self-regulation: the ability to align values with intention
and actions. "Walk the talk" Positive psychological state
Comparison to responsible leadership: Both authentic and responsible leadership emphasize
organizational impacts. Responsible leadership's emphasis on stakeholder
relationships takes it beyond organizational boundaries.
23
Spiritual leadership Leaders who bring meaning in the workplace How?
Motivating vision Meaningful job
Skill variety Task identity Task significance Autonomy Feedback Recognition Empowerment
Focus on employee well-being
Not the strong external / stakeholder relationship focus of responsible leadership.
24
Leadership gap in the financial sector
Focus on individual bonuses instead of overall good of the company.
Too much individual decision making companies have asked business schools, to focus more on team leadership.
Weak management skills: give little feedback, expect long hours, destroy work-life balance
Lack of government oversight / regulation and cooperation with competitors.

Developing responsible leaders
Can business schools contribute to the development of responsible leaders?
GRLI Globally Responsible Leadership Initiative:
a worldwide network of companies and learning institutions whose mission is to "develop a next generation of responsible leaders"
works closely with the EFMD (European Foundation of Management Development) and would like to "reframe the purpose of management education."
What do you think? Jerome Kerviel

It started with a book…
"We've been screwing the planet for 20 years."
32
InterfaceRay Anderson's new responsible leadership
New vision: the end of "take-make-waste" Used "Rational, emotional, and moral intelligence." See
video on his business case for responsibility. Managed change:
Selling the vision to stakeholders Passing ownership of vision to stakeholders - small innovations,
incremental changes "bottom-up" Team building, training in process and product innovation
Competitors followed "Seven fronts program": eliminate waste,…
33
InterfaceResults: sustainability is good business
Decreased manufacturing costs Decreased inventory Decreased volume of waste sent to landfills Reduced water and energy consumption Reduced greenhouse gas emissions Reduced petroleum-based raw materials
consumption
So why don't more manufacturing companies "go green?"
