Author P. Ernest Parker, Jr. provides a powerful and comprehensive exploration of ethical leadership in Ethics, What Leadership Ought to Be: A Case for a Spiritual Approach to Leadership ($15.49, paperback, 9798868510458; $6.99, e-book, 9798868510465).
Parker knows about leadership having possessed over 30 years of expertise advising public and private sector firms on ethics, auditing, compliance and corporate governance issues. His thought-provoking book delves into the importance of ethical leadership by exploring various ethical theories and their intersection with leadership practices. Parker emphasizes the need for leaders to go beyond legal obligations and abide by ethical principles, even when not clearly defined. The book provides an overview of different ethical practices, evaluating their strengths and weaknesses, and addresses common moral blind spots that leaders may overlook. Parker wants all leaders to understand that Christian ethics, rooted in the moral authority of the Bible, offers a comprehensive ethical framework for leaders to consider.
When asked what inspired the author to write this book, Parker said, “I spent four transformative years pursuing a doctorate in strategic leadership at Regent University School of Business and Leadership in Virginia Beach. This journey provided me with a deep understanding of leadership, combining secular and spiritual viewpoints. My studies into ethical leadership broadened my viewpoint, transformed my approach to leadership and decision-making, and encouraged me to amplify the essence of ethics to leadership.”
In addition to his doctorate in strategic leadership, P. Ernest Parker, Jr. also holds an MBA in general management, an MS in strategic management from Indiana University Business, and a BBA in Accounting. He is the founding partner of HLB Liberia, LLC, a certified public accounting firm. Parker creates risk alerts and provides clients with early warning advisories about worrying trends that affect business or industry or undermine fundamental abilities to comply with norms and procedures. He uses critical thinking and communication abilities to develop ways to integrate policy measures into organizational culture. Parker plans to write a book about women in leadership, emphasizing the particular talents that women bring as well as the importance of diversity in leadership. In addition to writing, he enjoys travelling, hiking, skiing and racquetball.
