What is the place of ethics in organizational culture?. What
constitutes good leadership?. How do different cultures define
ethical leadership?. . "Ethical Leadership" is the first book to
rigorously explore the value of ethics in a business climate
overwhelmingly driven by the need to generate profits and cut
costs. Drawing on both authors' extensive experience in teaching
and research, this book provides a clear, systemic model from which
practical strategies can be derived for sound and effective
leadership.
. . The authors argue convincingly for the need for ethical
leadership within organizations; demonstrating its importance for
creating a moral climate which is essential for organizational
effectiveness. The book begins with reviews of leadership theory
and research as well as an overview of ethical theories. It goes on
to examine morality in terms of leadership, suggesting the
principles upon which leaders should make their judgements. In
order to align business needs and best ethical practice, and in the
face of ever louder demands for good governance and corporate
social responsibility, leaders need to be role models whose
motivation should be altruistic and work to the benefit of others
and the organization.
. . In building their theory on what constitutes ethical
leadership based on an integration of classical philosophy with
contemporary psychological theory, the authors have looked not only
at individual and team performances, but have investigated what
constitutes ethical and moral values in Western and non-Western
cultures. This is followed by discussion of models that can help to
overcome cultural differences with a view to creating an effective
leadership approachin our varied global market economy.
. . "Ethical Leadership" is essential reading for upper level
undergraduate, postgraduate and MBA students of business,
management and psychology as well as practitioners in those fields.
It will help future and established professionals understand the
nature and potential benefits of ethical leadership in
organizational settings..
