A volume in Transformative Leadership in Postsecondary Education
Series Editors Carlos Nevarez, California State University, Sacramento and
J. Luke Wood, San Diego State University
This book is designed to aid community college leaders in becoming ethical leaders. This aim is essential, as
ethical leadership is needed to address the continual ethical quandaries and persistent leadership dilemmas
(e.g., funding, governance, accountability, shifting student demographics) facing public postsecondary education
in the current era. When leaders are fully committed to the ideals that underscore public education (e.g.,
public good, access, social mobility, civic engagement) and accept the notion that their role as leaders is to be
a servant to others, ethical leadership serves as a roadmap to guide their decisions, actions, and advocacy.
This volume serves as a comprehensive resource in articulating the foundational, conceptual, interpersonal, and practical dispositions of the critical
need to develop leaders with high moral aptitudes.
