Symbiosis of Humanistic Leadership, Sustainability, and Circular Economy

Abstract

Corporate sustainability is presumed to be a business strategy that creates long-term value by focusing on innovative measures aimed towards the natural environment and aligning it with its external environment. Continuous measures at global, institutional, and individual level have to be taken up to ensure sustainability paving the way to bring concepts like circular economy, sustainable practices into limelight among the scholars, academicians, and even corporate houses. This chapter tries to establish a link between a leader's role in an organization and creating spaces for circular economy and sustainability in their already existing cycles. On the basis of the steps taken for creating a sustainable business by TATA rganization, the chapter explores their leadership style and suggests that the values such as responsibility, humanity, and empathy in leadership became more important and goes well with the vision of circular economy and how well it has been dwelled up with the business models of TATA.
