“…Emerging theory on leader character that does not take into account managerial perspectives or practice fosters a stream of research that may be compelling and interesting for academics but is irrelevant at best and dysfunctional at worst for practitioners (Ghoshal, ). The 2008 financial and subsequent economic crisis and many corporate scandals have put into question whether the theories leadership researchers have conceptualized, tested and taught to students and executive audiences failed to prevent the crisis and may have indeed contributed to it (Ashlander et al, ; Gandz et al, ; Jones and Millar, ). This may be partially due to the notion that the solo creation of theory by academics has resulted in many theories that remain idealistic yet unrealistic at best (Hannah et al, ).…”

While the construct of character is well grounded in philosophy, ethics, and more recently psychology, it lags in acceptance and legitimacy within management research and mainstream practice. Our research seeks to remedy this through four contributions. First, we offer a framework of leader character that provides rigor through a three‐phase, multi‐method approach involving 1817 leaders, and relevance by using an engaged scholarship epistemology to validate the framework with practicing leaders. This framework highlights the theoretical underpinnings of the leader character model and articulates the character dimensions and elements that operate in concert to promote effective leadership. Second, we bring leader character into mainstream management research, extending the traditional competency and interpersonal focus on leadership to embrace the foundational component of leader character. In doing this, we articulate how leader character complements and strengthens several existing theories of leadership. Third, we extend the virtues‐based approach to ethical decision making to the broader domain of judgement and decision making in support of pursuing individual and organization effectiveness. Finally, we offer promising directions for future research on leader character that will also serve the larger domain of leadership research.

“…Given their narrowness in approach, these leadership theories developed by researchers and taught to students and executive audiences have been brought to trial: many would argue that such theories at the very least failed to prevent the crisis and may have even contributed to it at its root (Antonacopoulou & Bento, 2018; Assländer, Filos, & Kaldis, 2011). A lively debate among those who teach business ethics has ensued, concerning questions of wisdom, practice, context, and complexity (Egri, 2013; Feldman & Worline, 2016; Grint, 2007; Statler, 2014).…”

In leadership, we see morality and immorality magnified, which is why the study of ethics is fundamental to the study of leadership" (Ciulla, 2012, p. 508). The financial crisis and the many corporate scandals that rocked the first decades of the new millennium have placed an unequivocal emphasis on the frailty of a modern and global economic system that is characterized by the short-sightedness of profit at-all-costs (Nielsen, 2010) together with a lack of moral integrity among financial agents (Santoro & Strauss, 2012) and business leaders (Antonacopoulou & Bento, 2018; Crossan et al., 2017). This system might also be the product of managerial education (Akrivou & Bradbury-Huang, 2015; Podolny, 2009), which has a tendency to set apart and tolerate actions performed in a company setting that would be considered deplorable in the normal behavioral sphere (Haran, 2013). Many business schools prepare their students for leadership roles with an uncritical or narrow pursuit of managerial technique, looking to the natural sciences to explain certain organizational

“…Furthermore, pathos is related to the emotional side of the speech, for that matter speaking from the heart could be more convincing than other ways of presentations. Its side logos try to persuade through citations or by giving specific information that supports the main topic (Aßlä nder et al, 2011).…”

According to experts, students respond better to challenges where creativity and innovation are boosted than in the classical teaching-learning model, this also includes the English classroom. Based on this premise, this mixed and pre-experimental design research seeks to share the effect of a social poster project on tertiary education students’ productive skills performance in a public institution in Peru. The data was collected from 71 participants who were assessed before and after this through pre and post-test. In addition, a closed and open-ended questions survey was carried out to know the participants’ views on their posters’ creation experience and look for the most common rhetorical elements in their creation. The most noteworthy findings were the statistically significant score improvements in productive skills in the participants, upon project completion, and the favorable opinion about this, in conjunction with their preference for Logos design, at the time of persuading people.
