Ethical leadership is the critical appropriation and embodiment of moral traditions that have shaped the character and shared meanings of a people (an ethos). Ethical leaders speak authoritatively and act responsibly with the aim of serving the collective good. They are, therefore, leaders whose characters have been shaped by the wisdom, habits, and practices of particular traditions, yet they tend to be identified with a specific cultural ethos and narrative. Ethical leaders come into being through the development of character, civility, and a sense of community. This triune of virtues, values, and virtuosities is the bedrock for genuine human development, productivity, and peaceful coexistence. In this article, the author discusses how to prepare students for ethical complexity at the intersection where worlds collide. He describes the development of ethical student leadership and outlines a model that addresses the psychological, social, and spiritual dimensions of ethical leadership in respect to character, civility, and a sense of community.
