Abstract
This article brings valuable insights from Stephen Covey’s Principle-Centered Leadership (PCL) to the limelight as a contribution to the critical efforts of leadership practitioners and scholars to remedy organizations and societies through quest for ethics in leadership and practice of value-based leadership (VBL). It explored the major ideas and content of PCL and demonstrated its significance in the current leadership research. Firstly, with a meta-analysis in comparison with five recent key theories of leadership, it revealed that those theories adopt the insights of PCL to a great extent. Secondly, subjecting PCL to the evaluative criteria of leadership ethics, it demonstrated the ethical quality of PCL as a leadership paradigm. These two rounds of analyses brought PCL to the limelight of scholarly enquiry, hinting at the significant place it could assume in future VBL research.
