Chapter 9 in Leadership and Organisational Effectiveness Post-COVID-19, 2023, pp 147-167 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This book chapter continued the search for the future of leadership. However, the chapter emphasises how ethical leadership is understood, conceptualised, and evaluated. The review concluded that ethical leadership must be viewed from multiple dimensions, which must be jointly used to determine whether a leader is ethical. Ethical leaders must be ethical persons and managers by holding themselves and others responsible for an ethical violation. They must do this across situations and individuals. The chapter highlighted the challenges in using externally imposed ethical laws to make people ethical but instead advocated that ethics must be internally driven through personal values and virtues. This is the only way to sustain ethics and for ethical culture to outlive the leader.
