By J. Patrick Dobel *76

Published Sept. 21, 2018

In Public Leadership Ethics (Routledge), Dobel examines the role that ethics play in organizational life and how ethics guide the decision-making of leaders and managers. Building on existing ethical theory and research, Dobel argues that ethical managerial leadership requires self-awareness, self-mastery, integrity and a working frame of one’s values and character.
