Global Responsibility - Issue 14 - August 2016

Global Responsibility magazine issue 14, published by the Globally Responsible Leadership Initiative (GRLI) in August 2016, explores leadership as a shared and relational phenomenon rather than an individual pursuit. The publication features research by Anne Kernen comparing conventional and responsible leadership theories, highlighting how responsible leadership prioritizes multiple stakeholders and sustainable development over traditional hierarchical models. Additional articles examine character development in business education, the COMMIT student initiative for curriculum reform, and practical applications of responsible leadership in schools across South Africa and at Germany's Northern Institute of Technology. The magazine reflects on how business education and leadership practice must evolve to address 21st-century challenges including resilience, sustainability, and human flourishing. Through case studies and personal reflections from global catalysts, the GRLI articulates its mission to foster leadership that aims to be "best for the world" rather than merely "best in the world," emphasizing collective responsibility and systemic change across educational institutions and business organizations worldwide.
