Descripción
Sumario:We show how virtues and character strengths help global leaders to be more effective and promote the positive performance of organizations and people with whom they interact. We use de framework proposed by Peterson and Seligman (2004), which embraces twenty four character strengths grouped in six core virtues (wisdom and knowledge, courage, justice, humanity, temperance, and transcendence). The article is inspired by the idea Ghoshal and Moran (2005), who argued that management theories must be both right and good. We suggest that virtuous global leaders may promote positive organizational performance and contribute to build a more fair and sustainable world.
