Abstract

This chapter presents the latter stage of the “science to service to philosophy” perspective by outlining the ethical philosophy, and theory of leadership and motivation of a combined public and higher education leadership strategy in the Public Affairs Triumvirate. The ethical leadership theories of utilitarianism, consequentialism, and deontology, along with selected leadership dimensions in the public affairs forces of community, organization, and administration, provide a philosophical and ethical composition of leadership in the Public Affairs Triumvirate. This copious composition, along with strategic planning, is a prelude to leadership development and Valencia College’s Public Safety Leadership Development Certification Program which institutes transformative and innovative leadership to strengthen communities.
