Most of us are comfortable saying that "leadership is an art." But what about ethical leadership? Is it an art, too?
When we think of someone who is "moral," "ethical," or "virtuous," we tend to think of an unimaginative rule-follower. Mention "artist," on the other hand, and we conjure up an image of someone who "colors outside the lines" both in their work and in their life—someone like Jackson Pollock, for example. Pollock lived and painted "volcanically." He broke with all of the artistic conventions of his time by flinging or pouring paint directly onto his canvases. And in his relationships he was similarly erratic and explosive.
Recent research has found, however, that morality and the imagination are not as separate as these images would suggest. It reveals that there is something of an artist in the ethical person after all.

Moral imagination allows us to find solutions to the issues we face. Ethical behaviour needs curiosity and creativity because there are limitless possibilities beyond the immediate conclusions. New and insightful solutions to ethical issues are possible.
