A percentage of the modern leaders in political as well as business and religion have

brought shame to the once very coveted position of being a leader. There are scandals
hitting the world of leadership from all corners. Leaders have turned to be controversial
putting away the values and ethics required in their position. The worst area, however,
has been in political leadership where controversy follows another controversy day in
and day out. The pronouncement being made by our political leaders in their meetings
and during official sessions are sickening. The way they conduct they alone tell you that
there is something wrong in the leadership.
Despite this, there is still hope in leadership since there are still a number of ethical
leaders amongst ourselves. There are leaders who have demonstrated a sense of
character-based leadership in their position in society. They are people of good
character who are ready to put aside their personal urge but rather serve their followers
in the right manner (Eric, 2011). One of such leaders in the modern world is Dan Amos.
Dan Amos has been credited as a leading figure in terms of ethics and taking care of
personal as well as company values. The chairman and the chief Executive officer of
Aflac Company is an award-winning personal in the world most ethical company’s
awards and leader. He has won awards in the United States insurance sales categories
and continues to be recognized among the top leaders who are revolutionizing the
sense of leadership across the globe. He looks at ethics as a mindset rather than an
option. He has chosen the path of ethics in performing his duties and ensuring that the
company is better to place for him and his employees.
In the modern skeptical culture, he urges people to do everything right as there is no
other alternative. When this happens one is sure that the will be a good response from
the external world which means that the business is going to earn much better. He is
among the world leading CEO who is known to consider having the best in terms of
corporate ethics as well as social responsibility. He believes in being a character based
leader in order to drive the business forward. The CEO has tried every means to ensure
that the name of the company or the leadership is not tainted in the bad public light.
Recently, the company faced a false allegation relating to a trio of federal lawsuits. The
allegations were on sales as well as recruitments and financial disclosure practices. To
shun this, the leader was quick to term the information as fake and that lacked merit.
The company through his leadership responded to the allegations in a transparent way
(Dayen. 2018). The leader affirmed that transparency is the way of doing business in
the company. He gave a report that confirmed that the allegations had no basis and
promised to continue giving more information shedding light in what would have tainted
his name and that of the company among the investors.
