Abstract

This article is a personal account of how I see the field, based on work I have performed alone and with others over the last 14 years. I will highlight the problems I have encountered, some areas that beg to be explored, and most importantly, some excellent new contributions to the field.1 Again, I emphasize that the field is still young and open for development. Please regard my take on it as a heuristic, not something set in stone. The goal of this paper is to stimulate research. I am eager to see more scholars from outside the USA writing on leadership ethics.2 We cannot begin to understand subjects like ethics and leadership without research from various disciplines, cultures, and points of view.
