Contemporary discussions about the nature of leadership and the need for good strong leaders abound. But what constitutes good leadership and what is a good leader? Are ethics and leadership even compatible? Are they related, and if so, how? Can Desmond Tutu's claim that morality and leadership are indivisible be justified or is it merely wishful thinking?
Accounts of leadership often lie at either end of a spectrum relating ethics to leadership- on one end are accounts that argue ethics are intrinsically linked to leadership; on the other are (Machiavellian) views that deny any such link-intrinsic or extrinsic. Leadership appears to require a normative component of virtue-some connection to ethics; otherwise 'leadership' amounts to no more than mere power or influence. Are accounts of leadership that posit a positive normative component coherent and justifiable?
Approaching a potentially controversial topic, this series of essays tackles key questions about leadership from a range of philosophical perspectives and considers the nature of leadership separate from any formal office or role- leadership can and does occur in all areas of life, and shapes the world we live in.
Industry Reviews
"Just what leadership studies needs: a collection that takes philosophy seriously. The editors rightly recognize that substantive philosophical issues cannot be resolved with data and definitions. The result is a book that takes up the hard questions of leadership." --Terry L. Price, Professor of Leadership Studies and Philosophy, Politics, Economics and Law, Jepson School of Leadership Studies, University of Richmond, USA
