“…Similarly, virtuous leadership has been considered conceptually synonymous with (or highly similar to) moral (Gao et al, 2011), ethical (Cameron et al, 2004;Riggio et al, 2010), servant and spiritual (Freeman, 2011;Sendjaya et al, 2008), inclusive (Rayner, 2009), transformative (Caldwell et al, 2012), transformational (Brown, 2011), and paternalistic leadership (Wu and Tsai, 2012). Still others have treated virtuous leadership as a component of ethical (Walker and Sackney, 2007), servant (Lanctot and Irving, 2010), charismatic (Juurikkala, 2012), transformational/authentic (Hannah et al, 2005), and responsible (Pless and Maak, 2011) leadership. Importantly, none of these conceptualizations are grounded in the virtues-ethics literature.…”
