Most leaders believe they are ethical simply because they don’t break the law or lie to their shareholders. But Robert J. Starratt, a preeminent scholar in educational leadership, argues that ethics is a proactive, three-dimensional responsibility—not just the absence of wrongdoing.In today's 5-minute briefing on "Ethical Leadership," we unpack Starratt’s transformative framework. Discover why true leadership requires a balancing act between the Ethics of Justice, the Ethics of Critique, and the Ethics of Care.
