The ethical leader understands that the gold standard for all organizational effort is
positive relationships. The most important determinant of organizational success is
good quality relationships built on respect and trust — not necessarily agreement
because people need to spark off each other. The ethical leader understands the
germination and growth of these kinds of relationships and grow in the deep
rich soil of fundamental principles: trust, respect, integrity, honesty, fairness, equity,
justice and compassion.
For managers and leaders it is important know about basic ethical framework because
these framework contribute to managerial practice: effective and responsible decision
making is improvised without conceptual self-awareness. Ethical framework also
provides knowledge of ethics and moral philosophy in three different way of thinking:
Descriptive ethics, analytical, and normative with levels of attribution or application:
persons, organizations, and systems.
When ethics are enforced they bring in the checkbox mentality that narrows the
purpose of having them within in the first place. It reduces the scope of broadening
their implementation. The article mentions how virtues are learned and not inherited
and therefore a clear communication of the organizational culture and values .
The last reading on CEOs are getting fired on ethical lapses, tells us nowadays
companies have fired their officers and executives for misconduct on ethical grounds(
being involved in scams, scandals) but companies don’t mull much when it comes to
firing a CEO who has adopted unethical practices and also encouraged employees to
do so.Since it’s these executives that set the standards of conduct for other team
leaders and managers in the organization, leniency in actions against them could
change the tone of the organizational entirely.
An ethical organization is a community of people working together in an environment
of mutual respect, where they grow personally, feel fulfilled, contribute to a common
good, and share in the personal, emotional and financial rewards of a job well done.
Ethics provides the values and morals that an individual, organization or society finds
desirable or appropriate. As leaders of an organization have the power to influence
others, their ethical leadership in instrumental in establishing and reinforcing
organization values. It is important and the responsibility of leaders to help individuals
realize their values and needs to help them rise to a higher level of ethical functioning.
