We live in a leadership crisis. "In an age when incompatible
worlds collide and when scandals rock formerly stable
institutions," says Walter Fluker, "what counts most is
ethical leadership and the qualities of personal integrity,
spiritual discipline, intellectual openness, and moral
anchoring." Fluker finds these characteristics exemplified
in the work and thought of black-church giants Martin Luther
King Jr. and Howard Thurman. This volume, for leaders and emergent leaders in religious
and other settings, sets forth the context and principles
for ethical leadership, particularly for ministries and
other professions whose mission directly advances the common
good. Fluker's volume grounds leadership in story, the
appropriation of one's roots, as a basis for personal and
social transformation. He then explores the key values of
character, civility, and community for ethical action on the
personal, public, and spiritual realms. From these
considerations he develops a model of the specific virtues
that embody each realm of ethical leadership before applying
them to the practical aspects of leadership and decisionmaking.
