- Responsible leadership what does it consist of and what is the path for Portugal?Publication . Cruz, Nuno Moreira da; Saldanha, Maria Francisca; Monteiro, Isabel; Estronca, CarolinaWith the support of Fundação Magnum Gaudium and BPI Fundação "la Caixa", the CRB has launched the research "Responsible Leadership: what does it Mean and the Future for Portugal" in November 2022. The study encompasses a systematic literature review, a questionnaire that includes two samples based in Portugal and one in the USA, and a qualitative study that includes 15 interviews with Portuguese leaders from different companies. The study concludes that, despite the barriers identified, responsible leadership is the most correct and viable way to ensure the company's long-term survival. Companies without purpose and values, where the only concern is profitability, risk failing in the long term unless they take the initiative to change how they conduct their business. This study aims to contribute to a better understanding of what identifies a "responsible leader" from both academic and practical perspectives and to help organizations to reflect on their leadership styles and what should be done to ensure that Responsible Leadership prevails.
