Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed many areas of strength, weakness, opportunity, and potential threat in businesses, organizations, and societies around the world. The COVID-19 crisis has laid bare the need for leaders who have integrity and moral leadership. Extant theories on leadership pay scant attention to the moral dimension of leadership. This chapter contends that to reset and rebuild businesses, industries, organizations, and societies after COVID-19 in a sustainable manner, moral leadership is imperative. Moral leaders are those who demonstrate compassion and respect for others, they are humane and humble, they value and speak the truth, and they actively listen. In today’s world, such leaders are more important than ever before. In this chapter, moral leadership is defined, the traits of moral leaders are examined, the case for moral leadership is made and the consequences of a lack of moral leadership in a post-COVID-19 world are considered.
