Abstract: The aim of this paper is to evaluate the contribution that developments in the area of ethical leadership and trust have made to our understanding of effective people management within organisations. This paper is based on a case study from Harvard Business Review (2007) called "IBM - Leading the Turnaround". The author will use Leader Member Exchange (LMX) theory by Graen and Uhl-Bien (1995) and integrate the ideas of ethical leadership to critically evaluate the leadership style of the CEO of IBM Louis V. Gerstner that led to the turnaround of IBM. In particular, the author will focus on the following question: What role did trust play in the leadership style of Gerstner in the transformation of IBM?
