Another webinar at Durham yesterday

We held another webinar at Durham yesterday for our distance learning students.Professor Geoff Moore offers an interesting perspective on the concept of the virtuous manager using Alisdair MacIntyre’s work on ‘virtue ethics’. For me Geoff hints towards the need for managers to learn and develop new skills and competences in virtuous practice – perhaps as a way of dealing with the current ‘vices’ (greed?) that seem to be in the news nowadays. What do you think?
