Abstract
Leadership is presumed to build on good ethics.
Conventional organizations tend to be dominated by the western
philosophy of ethics that stresses on economic sense, law &
regulations and morality that dominates their decision making
processes.
But the failure of Enron, Trade-Wind and our own cases of Perwaja
Steel and the FTZ scandal left western idealism of ethics and
leadership to be desired.
Skepticism grew further with the failure of the American Economy.
The issue now is there an alternative to western ideals of ethics and
leadership. Would religiosity and culture be another alternative for
organizing for leadership?
This is what the paper is to argue.
