Problem Statement

Positive leadership is sorely needed for the modern age. The pathologies that arise when life is barren and meaningless can result in a model of Homo sapiens lacking the positive features that make life worth living (Csikszentmihalyi & Seligman, 2000). “At the end of 20th century, people have begun to face spiritual emptiness, moral abnormalities, twisted social values, greed, and all kinds of crimes, against the backdrop of the formation of knowledge economy and the acceleration of material satisfactions due to technological advancements. This has caused an imbalance between material and spiritual life” (Bhunia, Mukhuti, & Khan, 2012). The modern age has seen an increase in exposure to corrupt leadership practices. PricewaterhouseCoopers published a strategy report which showed a rise in the number of CEOs who were forced out of their positions in 2018 for ethical lapses. They analyzed the world’s 2500 largest public companies to find that 39% of CEOs were forced out for ethical lapses rather than financial performance or board struggles, a first in the study’s history. This was a 50% increase from 2017 when it was 26% (PricewaterhouseCoopers, 2018). As a result of this ethical maelstrom, society is looking for positive leaders to create balance in the environment through virtuous ethics and inclusivity.
