Ethical Leadership in Sport

This is a practical guide on how to navigate the
complexities of ethical leadership in sport, while
recognizing the increasing pressure placed on individuals
and organizations to win and be exemplary
role models.
While you and most leaders know right from
wrong, giving voice to your values isn’t always
straightforward. This book explores how to approach
the ethical decisions, dilemmas, and valuebased
conflicts that emerge for leaders in sports
organizations in order to make good choices, drive
a sound culture, and reduce the risk of going awry.
The approach in this book is two-fold: Coaching
to help you learn how to make and act on an
ethical decision when faced with a dilemma, and
an exploration of those deep personal values and
beliefs about sport that underpin your actions. This
book considers ethics in the context of modern
sport and highlights the classic ethical traps and
cultural slippery slopes to avoid using case studies
and examples.
