Ethical Leadership
What does it Mean to you?
In groups of three discuss
Ethical is actually very difficult to define
Virtues such as justice, charity and generosity benefit the person and the person's society. (Largely based on Aristotle's ideas.)
Ethics are central to morality - a human duty - based on rational people's respect for other rational people. (Notably supported by Kant an C18th German philosopher).
The guiding principle is based on conduct which produces the greatest happiness or benefit to the greatest number of people. (Referred to as utilitarianism - this might be also be considered 'the greater good' concept.) www.businessballs.com

Ethical business and investments regard socially responsible activities and aims with far greater priority and emphasis than the traditional profit and free market business approach.
Can you think of any non-ethical investments?
Examples of unethical behaviours, activities, policies, etc?
