What does ethical leadership require in an era of polarization, institutional distrust, and geopolitical upheaval?

In this episode of "Values & Interests," Kevin Maloney speaks with Noah Bopp, founder of The School for Ethics and Global Leadership, about educating the next generation for public life. Reflecting on the legacy of 9/11, the decline of civic institutions, and the challenges facing Gen Z, Bopp argues that today's young people have a strong moral compass but often lack the institutions and relationships needed to navigate an increasingly complex world.

Drawing on philosophy, history, and decades of experience educating future leaders, Bopp explores the value of pluralism, good-faith dialogue, mentorship, and ethical accountability.

How do we teach ethical judgment without prescribing ideology? What responsibilities do educators and institutions have in a fractured public sphere? And how can hope itself become a form of leadership?
