It takes a leader to convert an enterprise into a sustainable and responsible enterprise. (MacKenzie,2013). These features can be in-house that is managerial and organizational or peripheral that is stakeholders’ demands. Attending to these internal and external factors is not an effortless task. Time and market obstacle, that needs to overcome. However, the most decisive victory factor for sustainability is a proper leadership in the enterprise. Leadership means protecting the loyalty of management starting from the very top and developing a system of enticement to reward leaders at all stages to build up and move forward for the approval of sustainability practices. It also wants to have the capability to act in response of being flexible to alter and to engage in conversation with different members of enterprise. (Siddiqui, Ahmed, 2016).
