Africa is at a crossroads. A more sustainable and equitable Africa urgently requires new leadership models that put responsibility, accountability, and sustainability at the heart of its institutions, be they private or public. The concept of responsible leadership has been the subject of academic and practitioner conversations in the last two decades.

A key component of the responsible leadership competencies includes doing, and thus implying process and practices as a consequence of responsible leadership.
