Summary/Abstract: The paper presents some specific elements of counseling, taken or derived from philosophy, which become the main working tools of new professions that are now emerging in Romania as well, namely philosophical counseling and ethics counseling, with their application in various areas of business, from individuals and groups, to organizations and companies, and even to institutions. Starting from the levels previously identified within organizations where these philosophical practices can take place, from managers to management teams, to workers of the organization or members of community, we highlight new concepts such as philosophical consultancy, philosophical leadership and applied ethics, for both the manager and the management team within a community, company or institution. We conclude that there is a need to develop training programs for specialists trained in ethics counseling and philosophical counseling so that they can work within any organization or institution, by acquiring new skills and abilities that can be generated by the specialization program thus outlined and these can be applied within the institutions or the contemporary business environment.
