Morality as an index of mental health of the organization
building a model of healthy leadership
Julija Bulatova
pp. 105-122
This article links such independently studied concepts as ethical leadership, creativity, and culture as a resource of business and its aim. It is argued that linkage of these concepts in practice leads to normal, healthy, and adaptive development of an organization. Organizational health will be connected with healthy leadership and opposed to organizational "psychopathy" with its narcissist leaders and their aloofness to ethics. Another aspect of organizational mental health is observed in relation to health-integrated organizational culture, and the question of organizational responsibility toward culture in its search for creative solutions is addressed, as an important indicator of mental maturity; the regulatory role of shame in the moral growth process is emphasized. The paper is a preliminary conceptual introduction to the work in progress dedicated to the aspects of (morally) healthy leadership, connecting it to the theory of creativity, psychophysiology, and economy.
