About the Book

What kind of leader are you when no one is watching?

The Virtuous Leader makes a compelling case that effective leadership is, first and foremost, a moral activity, and that competence without character is never enough. Drawing on decades of experience leading some of Australia's most respected independent schools, Dr Timothy Wright and Clive Logan argue that the leaders who earn lasting trust and create genuinely thriving organisations are those who do not merely hold good values, but who live them, consistently and habitually, until virtue becomes reflex.

Grounded in the rich tradition of Aristotle and Aquinas and brought to life through honest reflection and real-world experience, The Virtuous Leader explores the virtues that matter most for leaders navigating the complexity of schools and organisations today: practical wisdom, love, courage, truthfulness, justice, humility and hope. This is not a book of quick fixes or leadership slogans. It is a thoughtful, searching guide for leaders willing to examine their own motivations, confront their blind spots and commit to the slow, worthwhile work of becoming the kind of leader others are proud to follow.
