Abstract
This chapter explores the concept and practice of ethical leadership in the public sector, focusing on key dimensions such as fairness, power sharing, role clarification, people orientation, integrity, ethical guidance, and concern for sustainability. The objective is to identify how ethical leadership contributes to effective governance, accountability, and trust-building in public organizations globally, with a special emphasis on the Greek context. The research reveals that ethical leadership is a critical enabler of transparency, employee engagement, and sustainable public value creation. Internationally, ethical leaders tend to promote trust, reduce corruption, and foster inclusive decision-making. In Greece, while ethical leadership principles are increasingly recognized, systemic challenges such as political patronage, limited transparency mechanisms, and hierarchical rigidity hinder consistent application. Nonetheless, emerging policies and leadership development programs indicate growing momentum.
