Beschreibung

The call for our schools and universities to develop ethical leaders has never been stronger. This volume offers new approaches to equipping our student leaders with the skills, competencies, and courage to act in an ethical manner, even in the face of peer pressure, tradition, or convention. Each chapter includes: * Ideas and strategies to help student leaders become more ethically fit * Ways to challenge students to pursue what is ethical and right rather than simply avoiding what is wrong or illegal * Examples of words, phrases, and red flag situations, along with effective responses, that can be practiced and taught * Six different leadership models to help understand the dynamics and potentials of ethics-related leadership The Jossey-Bass quarterly report series New Directions for Student Leadership explores leadership concepts and pedagogical topics of interest to high school and college leadership educators. Issues are grounded in scholarship and feature practical applications and best practices in youth and adult leadership education.

Editor's Notes

For the past several years I've been teaching a course on ethical leadership. Perhaps unconventionally, I stridently avoid emphasizing or highlighting the reasons typically given for why a leader needs to be ethical; in other words, I don't rip from the headlines the ethical failures of American companies or the ethical lapses of our sports or entertainment figures. Sure, these examples are plentiful enough, but my approach is less comparison driven (“I don't want to be like that”) and more aspiration driven (“What do I want to be like?”). I ask my students to critically examine their own ethical commitments and convictions. I invite them to critically assess why they don't always live up to their own ethical standards. These two practices lead to a final challenge: I ask the students to articulate the practices and habits they've developed (or want to develop) that will help them become the ethical leader they want to be.
