110: The Art of Ethical Leadership

Ethics training has become a mandatory aspect of staff development in most business and govern-
ment agencies, but that ethical integrity continues to decline. Brian Mee, Executive Director of AASBO
quotes the Center for Ethical Leadership, noting: “Ethical leadership is knowing your core values and
having the courage to live them in all parts of your life in service of the common good.” With leadership
being a subject that is at the heart of what AASBO strives to develop among its members, join Brian as
he delivers the Art of Ethical Leadership.
