Abstract:
This article begins with a discussion of Aristotle’s personal, social and political virtues. It then
explains why this view is important today, citing many contemporary scholars who are worried about the corruption of these virtues in the United States and elsewhere. The emphasis throughout is the
opportunity and even responsibility of business leaders to create a high quality of life within their
organizations that will promote virtues employees should exemplify in every aspect of their personal and social lives.
