Abstract:
Responsible and accountable leadership in cooperative societies is vital for their economic growth. This
research examines the impact of leadership practices on the sustainable development of cooperative societies
in Kenya. Using descriptive surveys, it explores the link between leadership and sustainable growth,
emphasizing the need for competent, empathetic, and forward-thinking leaders who prioritize the welfare of
their communities. The study underscores the importance of developing responsible leaders who are
accountable and transparent in their actions to drive sustainable development. Effective leadership is shown to
significantly influence a nation's sustainable development, with respondents affirming this connection. The
research calls for leaders to act as stewards of their environments, promoting accountability and transparency
in governance. By fostering responsible leadership in cooperative societies, Kenya can overcome challenges
and promote sustainable development, leading to a more prosperous future for its citizens.
