About the Book

In this extensively researched yet thoroughly practical book, renowned executive consultant Richard R. Kilburg characterizes effective leadership as a combination of specific behaviorally based competencies and virtuous aspects of character. He demonstrates that despite all the complexities of the modern world, the foundations of executive leadership can still be found in the timeless and enduring virtues of the ancient Chinese and Greeks.

With rich and informative discussions of the classical and modern literatures on virtue and executive leadership, and a wealth of exercises and questionnaires that translate models of leadership into plans for action, Virtuous Leaders is a vital resource for leaders and executive consultants alike, and is sure to become a classic in the field.
About the Author: Richard R. Kilburg received his PhD in clinical psychology from the University of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in 1972. He attended a postgraduate program in mental health administration at the Community Psychiatry Laboratory at Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1976-1977 and obtained a master's degree in professional writing from Towson University, Baltimore, Maryland, in 1992.

He has held positions in the Department of Psychiatry of the University of Pittsburgh as an assistant professor; as the director of the Champlain Valley Mental Health Council, a community mental health center in Burlington, Vermont; APA's offices of Professional Affairs and Public Affairs; and the Human Resources Department of the Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland, where he directed the human resources development programs.

Dr. Kilburg has also been in private practice as a clinician and consultant. He was an associate professor and director of the Master's in Business Administration/Organization Development Program in the Carey Business School at the Johns Hopkins University 2007-2010. He is the CEO of RRK Coaching and Executive Development, a consulting firm based in Baltimore, Maryland.
