| Tiivistelmä: | Who a manager is, as a person of moral character, has been only of tangential interest in social science definitions of management, which have focused on functions, roles, behaviors, and environmental influences. The author considers how managers themselves can speak of managerial excellence. This paper answers this for a particular corporation, based on a three-phased research process that deliberately imposes no descriptive or normative categories, but allows the answer to emerge, listening to what managers themselves say when discussing excellent managers and their behaviors. Among the findings of this approach is that: virtue ethics and virtue language is fluently used by practicing managers, and virtue language is important to under standing managerial excellence. |
