The spirit of this collection of original essays is reflected in the title which stresses the need for a new kind of leadership committed to the greater good of society. Against the all-too-familiar backdrop of corporate malfeasance, scandal in the Catholic Church, political chicanery to serve ulterior motives, and constant reminders of the corruptive influence of power, the contributors apply their expertise in fields as diverse as ecology, education, and conflict resolution to stress the need for ethical leaders who are capable of addressing complex social problems through collaboration across sectors and cultures. Collectively, the authors argue that because individuals, institutions, and societies are now so profoundly connected and inter-related, every decision of consequence has a ripple effect. The result is a provocative and multidimensional exploration of leadership in troubled and troubling times - with a hopeful note that individuals will rise to the challenges.
