EasyChair Preprint 13708

Abstract

This abstract explores the concept of moral absolutes in deontologism and its implications for leadership ethics. Deontologism is an ethical framework that emphasizes moral duties and obligations, with moral absolutes serving as guiding principles. Moral absolutes are universal and unchanging principles that dictate certain actions as inherently right or wrong. In the context of leadership ethics, adherence to moral absolutes plays a crucial role in establishing trust, integrity, and ethical decision-making. However, challenges arise when balancing moral absolutes with situational context and consequences. This abstract examines the practical applications, challenges, and critiques of relying on moral absolutes in leadership ethics. It also discusses the importance of developing a moral framework that incorporates reflection, education, and flexibility to navigate complex ethical dilemmas. Ultimately, understanding the concept of moral absolutes in deontologists provides valuable insights into ethical leadership and encourages ongoing dialogue on the complexities of moral decision-making.
