An Aristotelian approach to ethical corporate leadership

Article Abstract:

Aristotle's theory of moral virtue and his views in 'Nicomachean Ethics' and the 'Politics' provide an ethical approach to corporate leadership and to determining a just distribution of corporate goods. The corporate leaders need to think in political terms and take decisions on the basis of their specific needs. Practical wisdom can help them to determine the factors that are good for the whole corporation, while justice in the distribution of goods is possible through fairness. Each contending party should adopt a fair view of the others' claim and reach a moderate and balanced settlement.
