Abstract
A leader can be defined as someone who can get others moving to bring about change. The question is whether “leadership” is synonymous with “getting others to do what the leader wants.” In this chapter, we look at ethics as part of mindful leadership and how to constructively engage leaders who are looking for the right ethical direction to take a mindful approach.
