Abstract

This chapter develops an exemplarist virtue approach to ethical leadership in international organizations. An exemplarist virtue theory of ethical leadership endorses a virtue perspective on ethical leadership that assigns a prominent role to exempla. This approach involves two central commitments about the structure of a theory of ethical leadership: first, a commitment to the view that virtues, rather than rules or consequences, are the primary concepts in a theory of ethical leadership, and second, a commitment to the claim that exempla of ethical leadership occupy a central stage within the theory. The development of an exemplarist virtue approach to ethical leadership thus draws on two main, connected, traditions of moral theory: virtue ethics and exemplarism.
