P.J. Ortmeier (The Ethical Leadership Institute)

Description:
The institute's mission is to promote the study of the concepts and best practices associated with ethics and leadership. The focus is on ethical leadership competencies (knowledge, skills, abilities-KSAs) that can be learned (developed) rather than inborn qualities (traits). Normally, qualities are already part of who a person is, and they are based on the values learned and a moral orientation acquired during one's formative years.
