Explore the question, “What is ethical leadership?” from a holistic perspective that sheds some light on why scholars have not yet been able to agree on a single answer and definition. Linda Fisher Thornton will share a convergence of trends advancing our understanding of “good leadership” and describe the gaps in leadership development that led her to write, 7 Lenses: Learning the Principles and Practices of Ethical Leadership.
Based on 25 years leading and developing leaders, 16 years teaching at the University of Richmond and 3 years of intensive research into the question “What is ethical leadership in a global society?” Thornton’s work describes 7 ethical dimensions that are sometimes viewed as competing interests. Her multidimensional model is based on the expanding scope of expected ethical responsibility and provides a clear framework for talking about and teaching ethical leadership.
