Global and Contextual Ethical Perspectives

Leadership models and values change in a fast changing globalised world.

The responsible use of power is a key factor to good governance and a

human life in dignity in all sectors of society. How can the respect for

the cultural and religious diversity of values be combined with common

perspectives of responsible leadership in the one world?

In forty contributions, ethicists and other experts from 21 countries from

five continents give surprising and challenging answers in four areas:

family leadership, religious leadership, business leadership and political

leadership. A reader for church and business leaders, for politicians and

journalists, for teachers, students and scholars – and parents.
