Despite significant investments in leadership development, most corporate programs prioritize skill acquisition over character formation. This imbalance, consistently cited in corporate ethics reports, is linked to ethical failures, highlighting the urgent need for leadership training that cultivates moral character alongside technical and strategic competencies.

This paper introduces a virtue-based ethical leadership training program grounded in Aristotelian ethics, with prudence, courage, temperance, and justice as its foundational pillars. The program leverages experiential learning—case studies, reflective exercises, peer dialogues, and ethical dilemma simulations—to help participants internalize these virtues and apply them to real-world ethical challenges.

A comprehensive assessment framework integrates both qualitative and quantitative methods, including pre- and post-training surveys, 360-degree feedback, and ethical dilemma simulations to evaluate behavioral changes. Broader organizational impact is measured through culture audits, employee retention trends, and ethical incident tracking, with comparative and thematic analyses guiding continuous program refinement and scalability.

By bridging Aristotelian virtue ethics with contemporary leadership development practices, this paper contributes to the discourse on workplace learning, demonstrating how character-based training addresses a critical gap in leadership education. It offers a scalable model for cultivating ethically grounded leaders who strengthen organizational integrity and drive positive societal impact.
