Ethics, Integrity & Responsibility-------jaico
This volume is a complete collection of
essays on leadership, ethics, and integrity. The contributors are
distinguished men and women from different backgrounds. They discuss the
ethics of leadership from a variety of perspectives – those of
policy-makers, educators, military leaders, philosophers, jurists, and
clergy.
Many of these essays discuss great leaders of the past and the moral
decisions they faced. Several are very well known, such as Abraham
Lincoln and his understanding of moral truths, and the controversial
decision by the Allies to bomb civilian sites in Germany in World War
II. Others present such little-known examples as the German general who
disobeyed his superiors to save Paris from total destruction in World
War II, and the young Air Force Second Lieutenant who died in action
during his third consecutive tour of duty in Vietnam. Still others
discuss gross ethical failures, such as ethnic cleansing in the Balkans.
Finally, and perhaps most importantly, these essays discuss our future:
How can we instill a sense of integrity and responsibility in tomorrow’s
leaders?
