Society now has a seat in the boardroom - what does that mean for leaders?

The age of transparency is giving society (including employees) a ring-side seat in the business world. There is low trust and high scrutiny of business leaders - yet little support on what it means to be accountable to society. Where are the boundaries of accountability today? And what changes do leaders need to make?

This isn't a book about how to look good or delegate doing good. It's about how great business leaders own and navigate that challenging shift. If you believe the role of business in society goes beyond shareholder value, if you want to lead a company that understands its role in strengthening society, then this is for you.

Kate Adams has spent 25 years helping businesses to design and deliver on their accountability to society, and helping non-profits deliver social impact through partnership with business. She has consulted with some of the world's biggest corporations, and held senior leadership positions in non-profits such as Comic Relief. She is a Non-Executive Director at ParalympicsGB and co-host of the podcast 'Seat for Society'.
