In that sense, literature on leadership describes that this is a temporary condition of people, in which certain skills and competencies are displayed. The role of the ethical leader is essential in organizations, more in times of crisis. Consequently, it is important to encourage virtues of ethical leadership in current and future leaders using tools such as the design of serious games. This paper, exposes the basic concepts of ethical leadership through a pedagogical methodology, a serious game that starts from a theoretical frame of reference and selection criteria, which generates opportunities for teaching ethical leadership as a scientific method complemented with fun.
