    ABOUT "ACCOUNTABILITY FORUM" 12
    This special issue takes as its theme the idea of accountable
    leadership. AccountAbility believes we are in the midst of a
    fundamental transition away from the vital issues that confronted
    20th-century leaders. Challenges such as climate change, global
    poverty, water stress, peace and security, and globalising societies'
    health and education problems are diffuse, hard to define simply, and
    international in nature. Few obvious courses of action will present
    themselves, and solutions will demand extraordinary imagination and
    collaborative skills.

    Leadership of all organisations now needs to be defined in relation to
    the sustainable outcomes we want. To put it bluntly, we might say that
    if it doesn't do so it's part of the problem not part of the solution.
    Our overarching question then in this issue of AccountAbility Forum is:
    "What are the sustainable economic, social and environmental outcomes
    we need and how should our leaders be accountable for them?"

    There are two sections to this issue: "Visions of Accountable
    Leadership", in which contributors take a step back from the
    nitty-gritty to look at the "vision thing" we need from our leaders,
    and "Practices of Accountable Leadership", in which contributors
    describe actual organisational practices supportive of accountable
    leadership.

    This is a rich and varied set of contributions tackling an urgent and
    too-often-ignored issue.
