"Responsibility as a leader is the ability to respond quickly to a complex and changing business environment. It requires leaders to use their values to make business decisions that not only affect brand trust and corporate reputation, but also impact employees, clients, and the wider community.

He identifies what it means to be an authentic leader, taking into account intra-organizational relationships, role modelling and ethical practice.
