Ethics What Leadership Ought to Be: A Case for a Spiritual Approach to Leadership

Today, the need for ethical leadership has never been greater-especially as moral issues become increasingly complex. Ethics, What Leadership Ought to Be is a comprehensive exploration of how leaders can embrace ethical principles that, though often unwritten, are crucial for sustaining trust and integrity.

P. Ernest Parker Jr. examines ethical theories to discover that no single approach suffices to guide leadership choices. Instead, a blend of ethical perspectives is required to foster ethical decision-making. Parker analyzes everything from key ethical frameworks to the intersection between ethics and leadership-all to illustrate why ethics is an integral part of every leader's role.

Ethics, What Leadership Ought to Be finds that Christian-based ethics offers the most comprehensive moral framework. Grounded in biblical authority, leaders can move toward transcendent ethical conduct. Whether you're a seasoned professional or aspiring leader, this book will help you sidestep moral blind spots and inspire you to elevate your leadership approach.
