	abstract = {This paper proposes an alternative approach towards ethical leadership. Recent research tells us that socioeconomic and cultural differences affect moral intuition, making it difficult to locate a guiding organizational principle. Nevertheless, in this paper I attempt to open an alternative path towards an ethics that might serve as a guide for leaders {\textendash} especially leaders who are leading a highly professionalized workforce. Using the Chilean writer Roberto Bola{\~n}o and the French philosopher Gilles Deleuze as points of reference, I develop an ethical form of leadership that is based on a continuous {\textquoteleft}poetic{\textquoteright} dialogue between creation and affirmation. The nature of this dialogue requires a leadership approach that plays both a courageous and imaginative role in liberating its workforce. Last, I develop a frame which provides the constituent principles of leading in the direction of an ethical organization.},
