Fluker's volume grounds leadership in story, the appropriation of one's roots, as a basis for personal and social transformation. He then explores the key values of character, civility, and community for ethical action on the personal, public, and spiritual realms. From these considerations he develops a model of the specific virtues that embody each realm of ethical leadership before applying them to the practical aspects of leadership and decisionmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49724478292241,"sku":"CIN0800663497G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50516613333265,"sku":"CIN0800663497VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51007196823825,"sku":"NIN9780800663490","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52539106656529,"sku":"NLS9780800663490","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0800663497.jpg?v=1750786519"},{"product_id":"educating-ethical-leaders-for-the-twenty-first-century-book-walter-earl-fluker-9781620322628","title":"Educating Ethical Leaders for the Twenty-First Century","description":"Synopsis: The contributors to this book address the theme of educating ethical leaders for the twenty-first century. They represent a wide range of fields, including philosophy, theology, law, science, and medicine. They all share the belief, however, that ethical leadership education is necessary in order to provide the next generation of leaders with the tools that they will need to successfully navigate the challenges of today and of the coming decades. These essays identify significant issues and challenges confronting leaders, students, and educators from many different backgrounds, cultures, and communities, who must negotiate the difficult matters of tolerance, respect, and appreciation of difference; and the development of ethical student leaders and educators within specific environments, who will promote habits and practices that create communities of discourse and practice that address the challenges of diversity and culture. Contributors: Derek Bell Walter Earl Fluker Shirley Ann Jackson James A. Joseph Melvinia King Preston King Bryant Marks Walter E. Massey David Satcher Tavis Smiley Endorsements: Educating Ethical Leaders for the Twenty-First Century is a prescient collection of essays written by distinguished leaders in academia, law, medicine, and contemporary culture. The essayists provide thoughtful and challenging examples of ethical dilemmas facing leaders and communities in the decades ahead. It is fascinating and a privilege to watch as these notable leaders grapple with the 'issues of integrity, empathy, and hope as moral indices for ethical leadership.' A must-read for anyone preparing for or exercising leadership in the twenty-first century. --Debra Harden, Professional Development Director, Georgia School Superintendents Association Author Biography: Walter Earl Fluker is the Martin Luther King, Jr. Professor of Ethical Leadership and the editor of The Howard Thurman Papers Project at Boston University School of Theology.

If the US will at some time in the future be free from discrimination and prejudices that are based on race how will that affect the church's very identity?  In The Ground Has Shifted, Walter Earl Fluker passionately and thoroughly discusses the historical and current role of the Black church and argues that the older race-based language and metaphors of religious discourse have outlived their utility. He offers instead a larger, global vision for the Black church that focuses on young Black men and other disenfranchised groups who have been left behind in a world of globalized capital.  Lyrically written with an emphasis on the dynamic and fluid movement of life itself, Fluker argues that the church must find new ways to use race as an emancipatory instrument if it is to remain central in Black life, and he points the way for a new generation of church leaders, scholars and activists to reclaim the Black church's historical identity and to turn to the task of infusing character, civility, and a sense of community among its congregants.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50782993547537,"sku":"CIN1479897183VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51028912931089,"sku":"NIN9781479897186","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52518920814865,"sku":"CIN1479897183G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52595612614929,"sku":"NLS9781479897186","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1479897183.jpg?v=1763116206"},{"product_id":"educating-ethical-leaders-for-the-twenty-first-century-book-walter-earl-fluker-9781498215619","title":"Educating Ethical Leaders for the Twenty-First Century","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51030632530193,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51030634496273,"sku":"NIN9781498215619","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52473648185617,"sku":"NLS9781498215619","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1498215610.jpg?v=1751372995"},{"product_id":"unfinished-search-for-common-ground-book-walter-earl-fluker-9781626985117","title":"The Unfinished Search For Common Ground","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51040643744017,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51040646496529,"sku":"NIN9781626985117","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52680871313681,"sku":"NLS9781626985117","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1626985111.jpg?v=1751057299"},{"product_id":"papers-of-howard-washington-thurman-book-walter-earl-fluker-9781611170436","title":"The Papers of Howard Washington Thurman","description":"This is a four-volume, chronologically arranged documentary edition spanning the long and productive career of the Reverend Howard Thurman, one of the most significant leaders in the history of intellectual and religious life in the mid-twentieth-century US.
