Includes bibliographical references.

"This text is designed not only for a course on ethics and leadership, but also as a companion text in other courses in professional ethics, such as business, public, administration, law, and education. The book consists of selections from major Eastern and Western philosophic texts. Because this is a text on applied ethics, each chapter includes an introduction that helps the reader frame how the ethical theories apply to leadership issues. Each philosophic reading is preceded by an introduction that helps those without philosophy backgrounds understand who the author is and the context of the selection. [The text] also contain[s] readings from leadership studies, literature, management, and anthropology that further integrate the discussion of ethics with leadership."
