Abstract

This chapter describes the fourth element of the boardroom boldness model as theological, psychological, and philosophical arguments are outlined to understand the nobility of walking away, to save the day. It also discusses whether the concept of leadership remorsefulness is a variable in the theory of stepping down. It invokes historical and current cases to explore the concepts of resisting until being fired, retiring, and resigning. The chapter is undergirded with a theory of ethics and courage that springs from biblical truth and concludes with scenarios designed to challenge the reader to think more critically.
