Introduction

This paper would provide a review of the book 'Meeting the ethical Challenges of Leadership' written by Craig E. Johnson in the year 2009. The book covers the ethical issues that are faced by managers/leaders in an organization and covers all the related aspects that are needed for effective leadership skills.

In the book Johnson utilizes the analogies of villains and heroes when discussing about how the leaders type to implement any change. The ethics of leadership is related to evil and good, wrong and right, injustice and justice that are related to individuals/ employees as well as their relationship with others.
