The world cries out for ethical leaders. While leadership programs may feature ethics as part of their training, the approach is often either simplistic or overly esoteric. Likewise, leadership and ethics are often treated as two distinct disciplines disconnected from one another. Ethical Leadership: A Primer connects ethics and leadership by providing an overview of several ethical frameworks, case studies, discussion questions, and additional resources.
The editors and contributors of Ethical Leadership will each use the Five Components of Leadership Model to highlight an approach to ethics that relates to leadership or an approach to leadership relates to ethics. Case studies and demonstrations will be shared and the webinar will include ample time for Q&A.
Participants will gain:
- An understanding of the ethical implications of particular approaches to leadership such as servant leadership, followership, and authentic leadership.
- Practical insight on the leadership implications for various approaches to ethics, including Kantianism, utilitarianism, and divine command theory.
- Compelling current examples that vividly illustrate the connection between ethics and leadership.
- An overview of how the Primer can be used with students and practitioners to help them understand and apply ethical leadership theories so they may accomplish their goals both effectively and ethically.
