Joanne Ciulla’s Ethics, the Heart of Leadership, 3rd Edition (PDF).
If we measure leaders by their historical impact, Adolf Hitler would stand alongside figures such as Lincoln, Mahatma Gandhi, and Mother Teresa. However, many of us feel that those in positions of power have an obligation to wield their influence with a higher purpose than mere political ambitions and a more altruistic motivation than personal benefit. This compelling collection of essays delves into the ethical dilemmas leaders encounter in their interactions with followers, the crucial decisions they face, and the profound ways they shape the lives of others.
In Ethics, the Heart of Leadership, 3rd Edition, author Joanne B. Ciulla and her contributors examine the traits and characteristics of top-tier leaders. She questions the assumption that moral fortitude is an inherent part of being in charge; analyzes the roles that morality, charisma, and delegation play in the leadership paradigm; and considers whether individuals who want to lead with integrity but are sometimes forced to get their hands dirty for their constituents can be called “moral leaders.” Readers will gain an appreciation for how ethics is not an add-on to the practice of leadership but rather an integral part of it―an element that informs the very idea of what it means to lead and to lead well.
Top academic scholars ponder the question of ethics as it pertains to all aspects of leadership in business, government, and nonprofit organizations.
