Professor Kleio Akrivou

She researches personalist virtue ethics and transcendental anthropology to inform business ethics, human and personal growth, sustainability and ethical education, linked with practical wisdom and the theory of self and human action. Studying how they enable responsible and ethical management to support human, social and ecological values, Kleio's interest is in bridging business, society and humanistic agendas. Her expertise is in moral philosophy, psychology, adult development, education, research ethics integrity, sustainability and positive social impact within personalist virtue ethics approaches.

Following work in moral and human development in the modern humanistic traditions, Kleio studied classical moral philosophy. Her PhD was on adult moral development at Case Western Reserve University, USA. She researched revised anthropology to better understand human beings, action and growth to enrich modern frames of reference around ethics, management and education.

Kleio has published works in leading international and peer-review journals such as Business Ethics: a European Review, the Journal of Business Ethics, Leadership Quarterly, Frontiers and the Academy of Management Learning and Education, covering ethics, virtue and moral development, the future of leadership and management education and humanistic management renewal with genuine sustainability orientation involving people and organisations. She is a Senior Fellow of the UK Higher Education Academy.
