Seven management moralities
By Thomas Klikauer
Many spiritual seekers recognize that our professional lives often seem disconnected from our deepest values and moral aspirations. Thomas Klikauer's exploration of management ethics offers a framework for understanding how moral consciousness can evolve within organizational leadership and business practices.
Drawing from developmental psychology's understanding of human moral growth, this work presents seven distinct levels of ethical awareness that can manifest in management approaches. The journey begins with primitive, self-serving behaviors and progresses through increasingly sophisticated moral perspectives, ultimately reaching environmental consciousness and universal ethical principles.
Rather than dismissing the business world as inherently corrupt, Klikauer invites readers to examine how moral development can transform organizational culture. The book acknowledges the stark reality of corporate scandals and ethical failures while proposing that management practices can evolve beyond mere profit maximization toward genuine consideration of human wellbeing and planetary stewardship.
This systematic examination reveals how leaders at different stages of moral development make fundamentally different choices about stakeholder relationships, environmental responsibility, and social impact. For those seeking to align their professional responsibilities with their spiritual values, this work provides a roadmap for recognizing and cultivating higher levels of ethical awareness in business contexts.
The book offers both theoretical understanding and practical insight for anyone committed to bringing greater consciousness and moral integrity to their work life.
