The goal of this project is to provide leaders in business, government, and not-for-profits with guidance on living the virtues at work themselves, and coaching others to do so. The organizing structure for the project is a taxonomy of virtues inspired by that of St. Thomas Aquinas in his Summa Theologica. What is helpful about this taxonomy is that it is comprehensive: every aspect of human experience is covered. I have attempted to draw a map (or tree) of this taxonomy, and you can find it here.
Please keep in mind that this is very much a work in progress; indeed, we've barely begun. But we're posting early so that others can get involved and help out with the project. You can help by sharing examples of virtue in administrative contexts that you have come across in your own experience or that you have read about. Do that by posting in the Comments section of the relevant virtue. If you'd like to get more involved, you can volunteer to read one of the books from our Bibliography to find examples from it. Different people notice different things in the same book, so we're okay with multiple people reading the same book. (If we reach a point where we believe that any of the books has been mined exhaustively, we'll indicate that on the Bibliography.)
You can also help by making suggestions about naming of the virtues, their definitions, empirical research, and any other aspect of each of the virtues — always through the Comments section.
