Abstract

The chapter explores how public sector leadership could adopt the responsible leadership orientation for employee engagement through a responsible leader's cultural competence and proper diversity management practices. The chapter reviewed secondary data and established that responsible leadership is more likely to be culturally competent and, as such, put in place diversity management practices that enhance diversity management and, to a large extent, increase employee engagement, resulting in organizational success. Responsible leaders achieve this by readily learning to be culturally competent and relate well with diverse subordinates, leading to a feeling of belongingness and engagement. The chapter, therefore, advocates for adopting responsible leaders who are culturally competent and thus embrace diversity, manage diversity, and contribute to employee engagement in the public sector, which is essential in achieving national growth.
