The Ethical Leadership Project : It’s Role as a key Contributor for a Morally Transformed Society

Abstract

The objective of this article is to introduce the work of the Ethical Leadership Project to a broader scientific public; and to document its specific contribution. This is the first in a series of articles which will focus on the various activities of the project. The project have contributed in the development of ethical leadership in the spheres of civil society, religious and secular traditions, family, youth, gender, labour, business and politics. New modes for moral transformation were explored to promote and instil ethical leadership knowledge, values and skills. Ethical leadership has been developed through evidence-based and participatory research; education, training and skills development through conferences and workshops. The ELP embodies the development of a “RDP of the soul” conviction to foster ethical leadership for a morally transformed society.
