As socially responsible organizations, the role of universities must extend beyond knowledge generation to positive transformation in society. There is a growing recognition of the importance of nurturing socially responsible leadership in STEM graduates but an economic, knowledge-based perspective on leadership of STEM graduates persists. The purpose of the chapter is to direct attention to the necessity of socially responsible leadership development as a focal point in STEM disciplines and to fuel the discussion about how this might be achieved. Beyond providing conditions for learning of discipline knowledge and skills, educators should be influential leaders, guiding and mentoring their students holistically. The chapter serves to prompt reflection on the necessity of socially responsible leadership development as a focal point in STEM disciplines and to fuel discussion about conditions conducive to its development.
