| Abstract: | Recent ethical scandals in the business world point to the growing need for developing leaders who consistently demonstrate the highest levels of ethical behavior. The goal of this paper is to propose a blueprint for fostering sustainable authentic moral behaviors in leaders. This blueprint is based on research from the ethical decision- making, leadership, positive organizational behavior, and positive psychology literatures. For leaders to display sustainable authentic moral behaviors, they must first see their roles as including an ethical responsibility to all of their stakeholders. The authors hope and expect that authentic leaders will become models of such thinking and behaving in their employees, cascading authentic moral action throughout organizations. |
