| Abstract | Purpose-The word "sustainability" is discussed in several ways since MDGs and SDGs have gained business attention. Sustainability is not just about something's durability; it also looks at how to advance development projects without endangering the development of others nearby, both now and in the future (Fink, 2000). It is a drive that weaves together the different facets, including the social, economic, and environmental. World Economic Forum's has emphasised the need for responsive and responsible leadership. It is in this context, the paper focuses on studying the transformational shift in the role and responsibility of leaders in demonstrating responsible leadership and discusses the 'Locust and Honeybee Leadership styles'. Design/methodology/approach-Literature portrays that responsible leaders are recognized by their qualities, competency and skills. One such model is "Locust and Honeybee Leadership," where the two leadership styles are contrasted. The paper attempts to discuss the varied contexts of these leadership styles and attempts to draw a matrix on the commonalities of both set in an Indian context. A leader should always have openness of thought and integrity. Findings-Value systems are important for a leader. The major challenge is developing globally responsible leaders and managers who can perform effectively under these conditions of enormous challenge, as they are chronically pushed beyond their capabilities into unexpected roles and unfamiliar domains. Situations compel leaders to make decisions, yet the styles determine the way the decisions are taken. The paper is unique as it discusses the commonalities and contrasting perspectives of the "Locust and Honeybee Leadership." Research limitations/implications-The paper is limited to a small number of respondents and is set in Indian context. Originality/value-To the best of the authors' knowledge, the paper is an original piece of work and expresses thoughts of the authors on establishing a sustainable leadership model. |
