Richard Nielsen and Christi Lockwood's article, "Varieties of Transformational Solutions To Institutional Ethics Logic Conflicts," was recently accepted for publication in the Journal of Business Ethics. Drawing illustrative examples from institutional settings ranging from historical factories to contemporary symphony orchestras, the authors consider manners in conflicting ethics-based beliefs and practices may be combined to yield outcomes that are qualitatively different from their initial component parts. In doing so, Nielsen and Lockwood underline the possibility for leadership that moves beyond traditional "win-lose" outcomes to ethical conflicts and considers instead a variety of transformative solutions that may fundamentally, and hopefully productively, change institutions.
