Abstract
The mission of the China Europe International Business School (CEIBS) is to educate responsible leaders versed in ‘China Depth, Global Breadth’. The CEIBS Euro-China Centre for Leadership and Responsibility (ECCLAR) supports that mission by creating and disseminating knowledge on the practice and development of wise and responsible leadership especially in the corporate context. This collection of essays furthers that mission in providing a resource of wise praxis and reflection in the context of organisational complexity for managers, researchers and teachers in management education.
