One typical response to the ‘ethics crisis’ in business is a clarion call for more ‘ethical leadership’ yet there are few explanations of what exactly is meant by the term. Many executives and business thinkers believe that ethical leadership is simply a matter of leaders having good character. By having ‘the right values’ or being a person of ‘strong character’ the ethical leader can set the example for others and withstand any temptations that may occur along the way. Without denying the importance of good character and the right values, the reality of ethical leadership is far more complex and the stakes are much higher.
