"The role of ethics in the conduct of business, the professions, and politics is very properly receiving increased attention in a world characterized by relations among distant and disparate agents. This pushes to the forefront the moral obligations of leaders. This book draws together the leading analysts of moral leadership, and the many aspects of moral leadership are synthesized in a masterful introduction by the editor."
--Kenneth J. Arrow, Joan Kenney Professor of Economics and professor of operations research, Stanford University; winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics

"Deborah Rhode and colleagues take aim at the vacuous platitudes that pass for moral insight in much of today's writing on leadership. Anyone with a serious interest in moral leadership will appreciate this headlong dive into its complexities and challenges."
--Lynn Sharp Paine, John G. McLean Professor of Business Administration, Harvard Business School; author, Value Shift

"I'am struck by the ability of this collection to tell us 'about aspects of human behavior that are surprises to most' of us and aid our understanding of moral leadership."
--Max H. Bazerman, Straus Professor, Harvard Business School; author, Predictable Surprises and Judgments in Managerial Decision Making

"An unusually sophisticated and informative analysis of the 'formidable challenge of promoting ethical leadership in organizations.' It deserves to be widely read by both those who teach and study ethics, and those who aspire to lead?and create more responsible organizations."
--David Vogel, Solomon L. Lee Distinguished Professor of Business Ethics, Haas School of Business, University of California, Berkeley; author, The Market for Virtue
