Managers have stopped being leaders. This might be because they don't quite understand what that task implies, but their resistance to the burden of leadership may also stem from a deeper source - namely, their inability to see the point of leadership. Managers might well ask, "What good is leadership?" and when we look around today's organizations, we can't really blame them. The Virtue of Leadership is designed to change this attitude. The book argues for the idea of leadership and provides a sense of the particular qualities of a good leader - the virtue of leadership. Its perspective can be summarized in the image of what the baroque philosophers called the "Mirror of the Prince." It is a protreptics in the classical Greek sense, an injunction to the leader that she or he must take the personal life seriously, both as a leader and as a human being. It is a handbook or manual that guides the way to being who one is.

Paperback. Harmony, the bringing together of dissimilar elements in a manner that coordinates these as parts of an organic whole, is central to different aspects of human existence. In many cultures, harmony is considered an important virtue. As a personal, social, or environmental accomplishment, harmony has a place in everyday conversation, political discourse, as well as academic scholarship. In most Western societies, however, it has no such presence. This volumeintroduces the virtue of harmony as a central aspect of the good life into global ethics discourse, and shapes the trajectory of ethics research in a manner that draws upon the resources of a broad variety ofcultural traditions. The volume comprises thirteen essays that examine harmony against different cultural and disciplinary backgrounds. A broad variety of cultural traditions are represented, including the Confucian, Daoist, Buddhist, Judaist, Greek, Christian, Islamic, African, and Native American traditions. The volume's essays also represent different disciplinary approaches, such as philosophy, religious studies, linguistics, psychology, and political theory. Eachcontribution focuses on some aspect of what harmony as a personal trait, social disposition, or environmental outlook entails and describes how the virtue may be cultivated-either by examining the way inwhich it has been discussed in specific traditions of ethical, religious, or political thought, or by developing a cross-cultural analysis of the theory and practice of the virtue of harmony. In a time marked by profound polarization, this volume draws our attention to a virtue that is of key importance in many non-Western cultures but is largely neglected in modern Western thought: the virtue of harmony. The book comprises thirteen chapters that examine harmony from a particular cultural or disciplinary perspective. A broad variety of cultural traditions are represented, including the Confucian, Daoist, Buddhist, Judaist, Greek, Christian, Islamic,African, and Native American traditions, as well as different disciplinary approaches, such as philosophy, religious studies, linguistics, psychology, and political theory. This is the first book in English that has assembled such diversity of cultural and disciplinary perspectives on harmony in oneplace. It is suitable for general readers, students, as well as researchers interested in this flourishing topic of research.
