The importance of good judgment and morals in leaders is well accepted; however, empirical data of the role of value judgment in determining a leader’s moral judgment and ethical behavior is lacking. This study investigated the capacity of the Hartman Value Profile to predict the moral foundations and degree of toxicity in leaders from business, education, and health sectors. The results demonstrate the power of value judgment to profile and predict a leader’s moral thinking and propensity for ethical or toxic leadership.References
