Leadership and Ethics (Paperback or Softback)

What does ethical leadership look like across vastly different fields? Leadership and Ethics: A Three-Voice Interviewexplores this question through candid, in-depth conversations with three leaders-a results-driven Director of Sales, a hands-on Glazer Crew Lead, and a visionary Assistant Principal-each navigating real-world leadership challenges in their own domain. In this immersive and thought-provoking volume, Michael Lambert Jr. presents a unique comparative study that combines interview analysis with ethical theory and practical leadership recommendations. Through their voices, we gain insight into the high-stakes decisions leaders face daily-from letting go of top performers over value conflicts to advocating for equity in schools and leading teams through massive growth initiatives. The book doesn't just highlight leadership styles like transactional, servant, and transformational-it showcases ethics in action: deontological discipline in business, virtue ethics on the factory floor, and utilitarian sacrifice in education. Each interview is followed by expert commentary that examines leadership effectiveness, identifies opportunities for improvement, and connects personal values to broader organizational goals. Whether you're an aspiring leader, a seasoned manager, or an educator looking to foster ethical culture, Leadership and Ethics offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at how leadership is lived-not just theorized. This is a must-read for those who believe integrity is not optional but essential.
