Ethical leadership does not simply emerge from a code of conduct, a
good school, or a host of good intentions. It is an individual
choice, or rather a series of choices that emerges from the complex
interaction of personal values with social imperatives. This book
explores how and why some people become ethical leaders in morally
challenging and complex social environments. In Ethical Leadership,
Aidan McQuade provides insight into the concept of human agency -
the individual's choice of a course of action in response to the
options posed by that individual's engagement with the social
world. He puts forth a new model of human agency - the "cruciform
of agency" - which recognises that the potential range of
individual action emerges from the nature of the resonance that
social options strike with personal thoughts. Every action adds to
the individual's personal biography in ways that influence
subsequent choices by confirming or changing personal values and
hopes, hence influencing the way the individual subsequently thinks
about the world. In explaining the potential and limits of human
agency for ethical leadership, the book establishes a basis for
executives, policy makers and academics to conceptualise and
develop more robust and realistic approaches for the mitigation of
some of the most pressing moral issues facing humanity today. These
include the inter-related challenges of modern slavery and global
warming, which pose such critical threats to the Earth itself. In
this book McQuade not only sets an agenda for action but empowers
individual leaders to find the moral courage to better advance
human rights and preserve the environment even when such action
requires unpopular choices.
