Concepts Of Global And Ethical Leadership

Ethical leadership is leadership that is involved in leading in a manner that respects the rights and dignity of others. As leaders are by nature in a position of social power, ethical leadership focuses on how leaders use their social power in the decisions they make, actions they engage in and ways they influence others. Leaders who are ethical demonstrate a level of integrity that is important for stimulating a sense of leader trustworthiness, which is important for followers to accept the vision of the leader.

It is without a doubt that the government of the United States has changed in the ethics department. Unfortunately, the United States has had its share of unethical leaders in its past, but nothing compared to the leader it has today. Many people affected by the actions of our leaders and it is very unfortunate that they are not taken into consideration of the challenging work they put to make this country great. The United States president and his group known as Trump Administration, are far from knowing or respecting the word ethics in any terms. Moreover, he has become a bully with power and does not care about the comments he makes, or who he offends. His behavior along with his administration are very unethical. Consequently, there are

The effective leader is an inquiry-based practitioner who shapes their role, and the direction of the organization, through informed decisions from valid and reliable data.

These are all great questions; however, in 28 years of leadership experiences, I must say…a leader should always be strong in making decisions. Even when some people they lead are not motivated or self-motivators. I have realized that Theory X just need to be nudged and guided in a different way. While Theory Y are more a self-sufficient worker and easier to lead. Therefore, I would like to strengthen my philosophy of leadership. I would like to change my sociability, because it gives me the mentality to look or sound bossy. Don’t get me wrong, I know that leading sometimes looks

It is important for ethical leaders to have their own personal values. It can be challenging to influence others to possess values if a leader struggles with his or her own values. Ethical leaders must be ethical because they are the example for everyone else to follow. When leaders practice what they preach, they can ensure that ethical practices are enforced within an organization. Leadership happens on and off duty. It is not enough for a leader to only be ethical at work. All of their decisions must reflect a standard of ethical thinking.

Through careful consideration and an internal evaluation of myself I have been able to determine my core leadership principle; at the foundation of my leadership philosophy is ethics. I believe it essential to be an ethical leader because it establishes the key building blocks of a strong relationship between leaders and subordinates, which in turn allows for the implementation of my personal leadership style—transformational. As defined by Webster’s Dictionary ethics are: “involving questions of right and wrong behavior,” (Merriam-Webster, 2016). As a leader I believe it is important to have a strong ethical grounding as it allows you to conduct personal behaviour and actions in acceptable means. As an aspiring leader in the Canadian armed forces I believe I have two strengths to support my core philosophy. They are honesty and moral, both traits I believe help to make me an ethical leader. Another two important aspects needed in being an ethical leader are consistency and empathy, which I believe as a soon to be leader are two traits I need to improve. These four traits surrounding my leadership philosophy help to drive my personally employed leadership concept through the leader-member exchange theory. At the foundation of my leadership philosophy is leading ethically, which allows me to utilize the transformational theory to solidify my leadership principle. I believe the above named aspects of leadership are all vital to being a strong leader in the Canadian Armed

1.) The concept that I have acquired and would like to discuss is the next generation of leaders. Times are changing for many organizations including a diverse population and a true global mindset. With these changes taking place there is a need for a new generation of leaders. A new order is in store and that brings about different approaches to leadership for many organizations. Women now hold a large percentage of leadership positions within organizations. This change provides diversity and a different approach to leadership than in the past. According to Senge, women tend to focus on longer term issues such as sustainability which is a total different systems thinking approach than men. The next generation of leadership will not have

The five principles of ethical leadership are to respect subordinates, have a since of community within the organization, have a sense of service to help others, justice which is done by being fair to others and making sure employees act according to policy, and be honest with employees about tasks and current situations (Northouse, 2013). Ethics serves as a guideline to follow in accordance to what is good and bad as it appears in society. Respect is about being compassionate, having a concern for other people’s feelings, and living by a moral code of conduct. If I had to identify my role as a leader I would say I believe in being respectful to my co-workers and making sure I am honest and fair with the people I work with. A leader has to

“Nardelli came into Home Depot with a managerial style that was already obsolete and being replaced at GE by Immelt with his emphasis on eco-imagination. Autocratic top-down, command and control works great when you focus on process—cost and quality. Six Sigma measures all that stuff wonderfully. Nardelli couldn’t see beyond this” (Nussbaum, 2007, para. 2).

The most communicated organizational need in the global business environment is organizational leadership. Today, more than nine hundred universities and colleges exist to train, teach, and educate those who wish to become leaders in the specific topics of organizational leadership. Moreover, publications that inform benchmarks, best practices, and basic leadership concepts are becoming must read material in the global organization. Even though leadership may be defined in many different ways, the substance of the definition is similar. Leadership has been said to be a trait, an ability, skill, behavior, and relationship (Leadership & New Leadership Styles, 2016). No matter what leadership is to the individual, leadership is needed and

According to research studies on organizational leadership, “powerful leaders can have substantial impact on the lives of followers and the fate of an organization” (Yukl, 2006, p.340). Nevertheless, Heifetz (1994) points out, “there is no ethically neutral ground for theories of leadership, because they always involve values and implicit assumptions about proper forms of influence. The complexity of issues surrounding ethical and unethical leadership influences, are determining by the criteria utilized by leaders among members.

Before taking this course, I was under the assumption that people were either born leaders or they weren’t. Through learning from authors like Robert Quinn, James Hunter, and many others, I have realized that developing into a leader is a process that anyone can submit themselves to, regardless of background. Looking at the examples of Jesus and other famous leaders has helped me realize what this process of becoming a leader looks like.

This paper contains a brief annotated bibliography composed of five research articles selected on a specific research topic, which could be conducive towards a preliminary research proposal. The preliminary title of my research topic is “Institutionalized Ethical Leadership: A study of its effects on the sustainability and longevity of international organizations.”

Leadership of today is different than what it was several years ago. In the past, “leadership” was more concerned with the bottom line than shaping the people and organization to ensure its continued success. Leadership and management are two very different topics; however, many people subscribe there is no differentiation. From a Christian perspective, leadership and managerial applications must rest upon scriptural truth and divine authority. Today, coupled with Christian beliefs and ethics, development and effective utilization of key skills and concepts influences how successful a person will be in leading an organization, department, division or small group.
