Our understanding of "ethical leadership" has not been clear enough to guide us through today’s complex ethical choices.

Because integrity sets the stage – it is the commitment to consistently act on your values.

'T hat day was a special day, I was sixteen years old and getting my very first pager (yes, you read that right). I had saved up for a month, which was a miracle back then and ready to enter the “digital age.”. Image by JD Hancock. Driving home with my new pager on my hip was exciting, people now had the ability to reach me anywhere.

So I wonder how many of us today are familiar with the plays of Sophocles, who was born about 500 years before Christ and lived to be 90 years old. He was raised in a wealthy family and so was well-educated. In his life he wrote over 120 plays, the most famous of which is probably Oedipus the King.
