University of Delaware, 1976 Joanne Bridgett Ciulla (born June 16, 1952) is an American philosopher.

She is currently a professor at the Rutgers Business School - Newark and New Brunswick and is the director of the Institute for Ethical Leadership.

[11] To bring more scholars into the field, she published several edited collections,[12][13][14] and co-edited a reference work of primary sources in leadership ethics.

Research in leadership ethics is interdisciplinary and the literature includes work by philosophers,[19][20] social scientists, and management scholars.

Some of the literature draws on classical sources in philosophy such as Aristotle[22][23] and Kant,[24] to examine a variety of ethical questions related to leadership.
