To Linda's comment, as far as I know there is a construct of responsible leadership already conceptualized, based on interesting work by Maak, and Maak and Pless, although its empirical measurement and testing may still be underway, or "in press", or part of dissertations under these professors. Shuo, kindly refer to the publication below as a starting point:
Maak, T. (2007). Responsible Leadership, Stakeholder Engagement, and the Emergence of Social Capital, Journal of Business Ethics, 74, 329-343.
Note:I meant to post this to the whole network but accidentally it ended up only in Shuo's e mail yesterday. Sorry :) Kleio

Thanks for the cites, Jessica!
You beat me to it.
Shuo - I'm not aware of academic work on a construct called "responsible" leadership.

Shuo,
For literature that directly defines and examines ethical leadership
(albeit not as compared to responsible leadership), I recommend work
by Michael Brown, Linda Trevino, and colleagues, for example:
1. Trevino, Brown, & Hartman. 2003. A qualitative investigation of
perceived executive ethical leadership: Perceptions from inside and
outside the executive suite. Human Relations, 56: 5-37.
2. Brown, Trevino, & Harrison. 2005. Ethical leadership: A social
learning perspective for construct development and testing. OBHDP, 97:
117-134.
3. Brown & Trevino. 2006. Ethical leadership: A review and future
directions. Leadership Quarterly, 17: 595-616.
Good luck,
Jessica
