Cicero’s story and political career implies to us that both the intellectual and moral virtues are important for leaders and enable them to make judgment and choices for the sake of a complete goodness which defined by Aristotle as the goodness for the whole community and a flourishing life. Burns (1978) states in his seminal work, Leadership, that this world calls urgently for leaders who can engage the moral consciousness into the decision making process (p. 36). It means that leaders must keep their soul in an active condition so that they can habitually make decisions and take actions along with reasons. (Aristotle, p. 21) Accordingly, as higher education professionals, we should really focus on developing the students’ virtuous characteristics
