CSR and co-responsibility – do they require metanoia?

It is not easy for an individual to be co-responsible. It is not easy for an organization to engage in CSR activities. Both are journeys. The journey towards CSR and co-responsibility requires metanoia (a shift of mind following spiritual transformation). To undertake this journey one needs to take small but bold steps. Practising the steps taken is also important. The steps are systems thinking, relearning the definition of success and failure, exercising the right and left brain, pay forward and the concept of ‘buck stops at each one of us’. The paper discusses some of these ideas falling within the realm of CSR and organizational behaviour.
