Abstract
The article examines the role of responsible leadership as a key tool for sustainable regional development in the context of global challenges of the 21st century. Special attention is paid to the relationship between socio-economic, environmental and managerial aspects, as well as analyzing strategies aimed at introducing responsible leadership into regional practices. The author’s idea of the conversion of value orientations from rational entrepreneurship to responsible leadership is given, four levels of responsible behavior of regional economic entities are identified: zero ethics, conformist ethics, rational egoism and responsible ethics. It is proved that the transformation of egocentric approaches in the regional economy by the concept of responsible leadership is currently perceived as an objective reality, stating the unity of private and public interests, and is becoming a new value guideline for the modern regional development agenda. Recommendations are offered for leaders at various levels who contribute to the sustainable development of the regions. The topic of the relationship between responsible leadership and sustainable development of the region is important for the scientific substantiation of current trends in the regional economy, as it covers key aspects of resource management, social policy and long-term economic growth.
