Excerpt:
“Conventional wisdom has it that two of the most glaring
examples of academic oxymorons are the terms “business
ethics” and “moral leadership.” Neither term carries credibility
in popular culture and when conjoined constitutes a
“null-set” rather than just a simple contradiction in terms.
The reason for this is definitional, but only in part. More significant
is that we have so few models of businesses and
leaders operating on ethical principles. Simply put, the
cliché persists because of the dearth of evidence to the
contrary. At best, both these terms remain in the lexicon as
wished-for ideals rather than actual states of being.”
