Preface

DOI: 10.4324/b23260-1

The Practice of Ethical Leadership essentially started as a question. At its most basic, we were both intrigued by the question of why otherwise ethical people misbehave in certain circumstances. In other words, why do good people do bad things? In asking this question, we fully recognized that some people may have psychological disorders that remove guilt or that they are criminals. By and large we are not talking about them. Our focus is on those that are otherwise ethical and the individuals that lead them. More to the point, our focus is on leaders—those that aspire to be ethical, those that want their organizations to be ethical, and the organizations who want to hire and develop ethical leaders.
