Mission, innovation and inclusion are at the heart of a new model of responsible leadership
A new research study from the World Economic Forum in collaboration with Accenture (ACN) has identified five elements at the heart of a new model of responsible leadership for an era of stakeholder capitalism — one that focuses on strong organizational performance in concert with positive social and environmental impact.
The study suggests that tackling the challenges of the coming decade to accelerate growth and improve societal outcomes will require a wider range of attributes and characteristics from leaders, which the study identifies as:
- Stakeholder Inclusion. Safeguarding trust and positive impact for all by standing in the shoes of diverse stakeholders when making decisions and fostering an inclusive environment in which diverse individuals have a voice and feel they belong.
- Emotion & Intuition. Unlocking commitment and creativity by being truly human, showing compassion, humility and openness.
- Mission & Purpose. Advancing common goals by inspiring a shared vision of sustainable prosperity for the organization and its stakeholders.
- Technology & Innovation. Creating new organizational and societal value by innovating responsibly with emerging technology.
- Intellect & Insight. Finding ever-improved paths to success by embracing continuous learning and knowledge exchange.
“The climate crisis, growing inequality and economic fragility threaten human wellbeing like never before,” said Adrian Monck, managing director for the World Economic Forum. “We need a stakeholder approach in which companies combine entrepreneurialism with purpose, working with others to improve the state of the world in which they operate. The good news is that the next generations want to develop the broad range of leadership skills needed to make this happen.”
Titled Seeking New Leadership, the report is based on surveys of more than 20,000 people — comprising members of the World Economic Forum’s Young Global Leaders and Global Shapers communities (“emerging leaders”); CEOs and other business leaders; and employees, consumers and other stakeholder groups — as well as an econometric analysis of company performance and other original research.
