Why do we need responsible leadership?
The coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis presents an opportunity to rethink how business is conducted, how societies are managed, and to adopt more innovative and entrepreneurial approaches as exemplified in Imperial College London’s unique deep science culture and entrepreneurial ecosystem.
It is a crucial time for organisations to incorporate the principles of responsible leadership into their business models. Leaders need to respond to challenges such as mitigating environmental damage, economic and geopolitical realignment, and provide opportunities to increase equality, diversity and inclusiveness in their employment practices. It is critical that organisations leverage opportunities made available by digital transformation, and create a sense of social purpose beyond profit.
