ABSTRACT  
In this paper, the authors propose that leadership theory and instruction 
should flow from ethical theory. They argue that scholarship and instruction 
in the leadership field should begin with ethics. The purpose of this paper 
is to call readers’ attention to some important philosophical arguments 
that can inform the relationship between ethics and leadership theory and 
how this relationship should shape teaching in the field of leadership studies.
