ABSTRACT

Author believe that research on responsible global leadership is where “daring to care” (Adler & Hansen, 2012) becomes salient. As highlighted in chapters in this volume, it is also a field with great potential to bring management science to practice. Finally, and closely related to the focus of this chapter, the author spent the better part of my available time for research over the past decade on a project in which my collaborators and the author examine the individual, organizational, and societal drivers of corporate responsibility and irresponsibility. These forces shepherded in an anti-globalization movement: an outcry against the inequities of globalization and its unintended consequences. The tensions associated with global leadership during this era exposed how much more work needs to be done on the responsibility end of the global leadership equation.
