Understanding the Power, Responsibility, Leadership and Learning Links: The Key to Successful Ethics Management

Abstract

This paper raises some fundamental questions about two of the most important issues in the world today: first, questions about the nature and relationship between power, responsibility and leader ship. Second, how this is related to the whole subject of learning. The core of the debate about leadership should be more about how and what we learn about responsibility, rather than the traditional preoccupation with power. If we want to improve the quality of life in the twenty-first century, the one thing that we have to do today is to try to improve the quality of our learning. Why we learn? How we learn? What we learn? What we do with that learning?
