  What is Moral and (or) Ethical Leadership?

  Ilomäki, Markus (UNIVERSITY OF JYVÄSKYLÄ, 2014-10)

  Are we in need of moral and (or) ethical leadership? It is not hard to answer this question and as time has passed it has become more or less a rhetorical question. All one has to do is open the newspaper, turn on the radio or TV, to discover that someone has had to step down or resign after unethical practices in business or politics. It is not long ago that EU elected the French banker Jean-Claude Trichet to head its central bank after a delay due to Mr. Trichet being tried for fraud in France. Following this event Silvio Berlusconi received the EU presidency for the next six months while corruption charges still persist on his head (BBC News). Some months later Italian foods giant Parmalat suddenly files for bankruptcy because billions of euros are missing from its books; the list goes on and on. It is clear that if moral and ethical leadership is needed it is needed today more than ever.

  African contextual ethics : hunger, leadership, faith and media

  Nduku, Elizabeth; Stückelberger, Christoph (Globethics.net, 2013)

  This volume in the Focus series brings together articles presented at an interdisciplinary session on applied ethics held at the Catholic University of Eastern Africa in Nairobi, Kenya, in June 2012. Current topics in development ethics, political ethics, media ethics, governance ethics and business ethics are developed from African perspectives, using examples drawn from Kenya and Tanzania. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948 recognised the inherent dignity and equal and inalienable rights of the members of the human family as the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world. Article 1 states: 'All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.' These values form the basis for this publication.
