Abstract

The world is hungry for goodness, it recognizes it when it sees it, and it has incredible responses to the good. There is something in all of us that hungers after the good and the true, and when we glimpse it in people, we applaud them for it. We long to be just like them. Their inspiration reminds us of the tenderness for life that we all can feel. --Desmond Tutu (1999, p. 263) In light of recent corporate ethical scandals, Leading with Values: Positivity, Virtue, and High Performance offers leaders practical ways to achieve expected performance and profit while acting ethically and virtuously. The authors do a good job of illuminating the common characteristics of those leaders who have led others from a positivistic and virtue-based perspective. Cameron and Hess have compiled case studies and stories concerning groups that have experienced organizational success based upon honesty, respect, trust, dignity, and valuing others as essential characteristics of value-based leadership.
