“…-Blumen, 2005) or 'bad' (e.g. Kellerman, 2004) leadership are arguably too focussed on the individual's responsibility (Knights and O'Leary, 2006), both from a leadership and followership perspective, downplaying the relational nature of ethical and value-based judgements of good and evil. We encourage students and managers to discuss aspects of good and evil as they relate to specific sequences from the film.…”

The Problem This article considers concepts of toxic and bad leadership from a critical, post-structuralist perspective and illustrates how this can be conveyed to management students through the use of film analysis. In response to the paucity of critical approaches within toxic and bad leadership studies, we suggest that film is a useful way of developing in-depth discussion in student and management groups to uncover underlying subtleties and complexity in leadership theory and practice. The Solution We connect to film clips from Batman: The Dark Knight, and explain how this film is used with students and managers to illustrate the ambiguous nature of “good” and “bad” leadership and explore the fluid, shifting, and relational nature of these two concepts. We conclude that students and managers can recognize this more readily through viewing, discussing, and analyzing film clips such as the ones discussed herein. The Stakeholders University lecturers and students, executive educators and managers, general human resource development (HRD) professionals

Social engineering is deeply entrenched in the fields of both computer science and social psychology. Knowledge is required in both these disciplines to perform social engineering based research. Several ethical concerns and requirements need to be taken into account when social engineering research is conducted to ensure that harm does not befall those who participate in such research. These concerns and requirements have not yet been formalised and most researchers are unaware of the ethical concerns involved in social engineering research. This paper identifies a number of concerns regarding social engineering in public communication, penetration testing and social engineering research. It also discusses the identified concerns with regard to three different normative ethics approaches (virtue ethics, utilitarianism and deontology) and provides their corresponding ethical perspectives as well as practical examples of where these formalised ethical concerns for social engineering research can be beneficial.

Purpose -This paper aims to review the links between ethics, leadership and psychology, and to introduce the papers for the special issue of the Journal of Management Development. Design/methodology/approach -The paper provides a conceptual review of issues attached to research in the field of responsible leadership psychology. Findings -Individual organisational members affect and are affected by the organisation's collective psyche, and all are potential leaders; therefore, all should care about their 'inner life' and reflect on the interrelationships between their ethical responsibility, their psychological world, and their interaction with others. Originality/value -Self-enquiry and understanding the unconscious influences on egoconsciousness are essential for nurturing ethical awareness and responsible action as leaders, followers and more generally as organisational agents.
