This chapter focuses on ethical leadership and a set of competencies that will contribute to sustainability mindset. Individuals in leadership roles are increasingly required to interact, negotiate, and operate beyond the local borders which makes it imperative for them to be familiar with responsible business practices, business ethics, and national values. Sharma (Competency framework & competency modeling for Principles of Responsible Management Education (PRME), 2015a; Round table presentation on Emotional & Social Competencies during PDW on ‘Responsible Management Education in Action: A Competence-Based Approach’, 2015b; Managing for responsibility: A sourcebook for an alternative paradigm, Business Expert Press, 2017) has developed a competency framework and a competency model based on Principles of Responsible Management Education (PRME) which focuses on competencies that will lead to a sustainability mindset in the present and future managers/leaders. The thought and action on issues related to social responsibility and sustainability have been reinforced by failings of businesses, rising incidents of corruption and corporate frauds, economic meltdown, ecological repercussions of global warming on various geographies, and system failings (Godemann et al. in Journal of Cleaner Production 62:16–23, 2013; Accounting, Auditing & Accountability Journal 27:218–233, 2014). This has provided the impetus to focus on ethical leadership and cognitive, affective, moral, and behavioural (CAMB) competencies for promoting a sustainability mindset for sustainable development.
