What role does character play in shaping wise and ethical leadership?
In a recent episode of the Values & Interests podcast from the Carnegie Council, Professor Edward Brooks, Executive Director of the Oxford Character Project, joined host Kevin Maloney for a wide-ranging conversation on the place of character in leadership today.
Together they explored:
- The formative values that shape leaders
- Why character must be central in leadership education
- Moving beyond compliance to a vision of excellence
- How the arts and humanities can enrich our understanding of leadership
Edward also reflected on the global challenges facing leaders, the place of hope in politics, and the responsibility of universities to form leaders who serve society with courage and humility.
