'This book offers a seminal contribution to demystify responsible leadership. It succeeds in taking the reader on a colourful journey of discovery, allowing one to gain insights from a rich pallet of diverse views and more importantly leaves one with the realisation that the responsible leadership journey has only started. If you want to participate on this journey, I suggest you make this book your starting point.' - Derick de Jongh, Professor, University of Pretoria, South Africa'From enticing start to compelling finish, this is a book of broad and profound intellectual power. The authors - all people who know what they are talking about - inspire us with romantic hope and caution us with sceptical realism. In between, they allow space for careful, thoughtful understanding of responsibility in contemporary leadership. I wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone concerned with the predicaments of modern organising, activism and governance.' - Jonathan Gosling, Emeritus Professor, University of Exeter, UK'The action learning community and readership of this journal may feel validated and included through many of the chapters of the book and their messages concerning the collective nature of leadership, challenges of embracing the requirements of multiple stakeholders, setting ethical agendas, the importance of developing human capacity and the need to build trust. Other fundamentals of responsible leadership are about the need for reflection and critical thinking. For those interested in understanding responsible leadership and contention around it, this book is a must read.' - Dr Taposh Roy, Action Learning: Research and Practice
