Abstract: Corporations are recognising that building economic growth along with addressing a range of social and ethical needs is imperative to promote sustainable development and all-round prosperity of the business. With the statutory mandate on social spending in India, corporate need to move beyond the fragmented contributions to focusing on inculcating values of global citizenship. CC is acquiring a central role, one which urges corporate to take a holistic approach to managing their economic, legal, ethical and discretionary responsibilities towards different stakeholders, in order to make a sustainable impact. However, such strategies are largely top driven and there is an inadequate focus on the role that leaders have and their styles that influence percolation and implementation of these decisions at various levels. This study is directed towards understanding the impact of leadership styles on CC - an interaction which will lead to sustainable consequences. The paper presents future agenda for understanding the relationship between these critical phenomena based on certain propositions. This study in the Indian context could have relevance to the emerging market economies, especially the South Asian economies.
