The emergence of two new strains of leadership research – global leadership and responsible leadership –
reflects an effort to better comprehend the nature of leadership in the 21st century. This symposium brings
together recognized experts on global leadership and responsible leadership. After introductory, stage-setting
remarks, the panel will lay a foundation for considering the challenges of the global environment and how
contextual factors may constrain or facilitate responsible global leadership behaviors. This will be followed by a
review of the global leadership literature with a focus on the emerging emphasis on responsibility, particularly
as it relates to the ethical dilemmas associated with leadership in a global context. The panel will then move on
to consider how responsible global leadership relates to the larger context of corporate social responsibility in
global organizations. The call for responsible global leadership begs the question of what are its antecedents,
the next area of exploration by the panel. Finally, the focus shifts and narrows to the challenge of responsible
global leadership in emerging markets, where an absence of well-established institutional norms, mingled with
significant cultural variation give rise to considerations not found when operating in OECD countries. (For more
