Saint Mary's College Presents Executive Speaker Series: Responsible Leadership CEO Perspective

There has been a lot of talk of responsible leadership lately among businesses leaders from forprofits and nonprofit organizations, NGOs, academics, and government officials. What does responsible leadership mean to you? How can we develop responsible leadership? How do we build and maintain an organizational culture to encourage responsible leadership and practices? How does responsible leadership help organizations in the hyper-competitive world of today?
