Business Ethics remains necessary in a globalized world. Companies need to
listen to their stakeholders and identify their needs. As social institutions, companies
should display moral behavior because society expects good actions of them. As a
result, they need to integrate social and environmental problems into their day-today
work because that is their responsibility. Consequently, gender equality has to be
integrated into company management because it is a global, social interest. Since the
dichotomist division of public and private spaces, cultural constructions of gender have
been determined, which are based on values and restrictive principles that build a
con)icting model for men and women. In contemporary western societies, these roles
are the basis of our education and lifestyle, and they impregnate all areas of society
cross-sectionally, from politics to economy. !is gender di"erentiation becomes gender
inequality, which is reproduced by companies. In the present communication, our
main task is to identify the real relation between Business Ethics and an emerging form
of leadership: Women’s Leadership. Our hypothesis centers on the notion that Business
Ethics can enhance the presence of women as leaders in companies. Moreover, we have
to work on the possibilities of de#ning a women’s leadership model, which is not often
done visibly, and highlight its main features which come close to the transformational
leadership model. We will also see how in a context of change and economic recession
that the need to reformulate the basis of the traditional leadership model, traditionally
associated and practiced by men, is evident. Companies demand complementary
leadership, transformational leadership, and need to respond to the principles and
values of Business Ethics. [-]
