Abstract:
In the current world of modernity and globalization, as in the past, leadership remains an imperative ingredient at
all levels of human life and stability of our societies. In this time of historic transition in our society we urgently
need an ethical leadership that, while constantly and closely attuned to the rapidly changing pulse of human
ventures and affairs, can project a comprehensive, coherent, and compelling vision of human society,
communicate that vision convincingly to the whole world, foster its implementation through holistic and
cooperative endeavor, and make and follow through on the hard decisions that will be bound to ensue. The
quality of leadership we engender – at the grass-roots level, nationally, and globally, – will determine the kind of
society we live in, and the state of the world that future generations will inherit. By embracing, rethinking,
redefining and reinventing ethical leadership into the principles of sustainability as an expression of the shared
common good; individuals, communities and organizations involved in leading ventures will be able to share
their values and philosophies towards profitable development and sustainability, thus making our society.
