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.

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.
