Price uses a multi-disciplinary approach to an understanding of immorality in the public! private! and non-profit sectors. He argues that leaders can know that a certain kind of behavior is generally required by morality but still be mistaken as to whether the relevant moral requirement applies to them in a particular situation and whether others are protected by this requirement. Price demonstrates how leaders make exceptions of themselves! explains how the justificatory force of leadership gives rise to such exception-making! and develops normative protocols that leaders should adopt.
