This text provides a multidimensional approach to ethical leadership in human services for professional leaders and students who wish to be leaders in human services.

Practical and theoretical perspectives integrated throughout the text help leaders consider the complexity of moral and ethical quandaries, rather than provide prescriptions or answers. A framework for decision-making includes the necessary components for an ethical reasoning process. The text then turns to the theoretical and practical implications of building ethical organizations and discusses organizational culture, climate, and structure as concrete entities that can be shaped to enhance the ethical policies and practices of the organization.
