Modern democracy requires people who can think critically, reason ethically, and participate effectively. Successful organizations must be populated by people who understand group processes and how to guide them while maintaining the proper respect for all participants.  Ethical leadership thrives when it is directed by respect for ethical beliefs and values and for the dignity and rights of all people.

As we move further into the twenty first century what will global leadership need to embody in order to effectively grapple with the vexing challenges of climate change, earth population density, biodiversity, science, technology and the social-political-economic realities of a post COVID-19 America?

How does the study of science lend to our understanding and implementation of effective leadership?  Are we headed in the right direction with our current trends in artificial intelligence?  Where should pathways to lifelong learning lead to in order to save our planet from devastation?

Does improving ethical decision-making require deliberately making rational decisions that maximize value rather than going with ones natural inclinations?  How do our biases and other cognitive limitations influence rational thinking? and at what cost to future generations who will inherit the earth we leave behind?
