Abstract:

A pressing challenge faces society today the need to guide the evolution of social values. Not only does society have an obligation to reflect changing social values but it also has a responsibility to attempt to shape emerging values. Clearly, if the leaders of a society do not accept this challenge, then who will The shaping of values, to include the complex question of what these values should be, is a profoundly difficult issue to address. Yet it is precisely this issue which calls into question the multitude of ethical responsibilities facing a societys institutions. An examination of these responsibilities is no easy task, particularly in an era of individualism when do your own thing is an increasingly acceptable egoistic pursuit. Nevertheless, the need to explore the ethical challenges facing organizations is indeed imminent if leaders are to consider seriously the responsibilities facing them. This monograph is intended to present a conceptual framework within which leaders can begin to explore the issues of ethical responsibilities and values development.
