Personal Code Of Ethics By Meredith Keck

This paper will first discuss briefly what ethics are and provide the definition for an ethical issue. An ethical leadership issue is identified and explained for this author’s practice area. We will then identify and discuss key strategies for leadership that are pertinent to the ethical issue. Next, empirical evidence which supports the strategies discussed will be analyzed. Then, the impact and importance of the strategies will be stated. The final step will be to provide a conclusion to the reader that summarizes the content and strategies.

Mostly, how ethics produce effective leaders will stress how good leadership is impossible without ethics. Throughout this paper, the reader will develop an understanding of what is personally required to

“A leader steps up in times of crisis, and is able to think and act creatively in difficult situations. Unlike management, leadership cannot be taught, although it may be learned and enhanced through coaching or mentoring” (Ubben, 2017). My thoughts will focus on what is achievable even when things seem difficult to move forward. A genuine leader knows how to be flexible when it comes to their crew, able to distinguish each individual’s strengths, and capable to motivate and reassure the team to succeed. I will lead by example and give my best in whatever I partake in. It is important for soldiers to recognize that as a leader I will not participate for the sake of contributing. A leader should actively engage themselves in activities that involves soldiers instead of being a spectator. I believe leaders who participate in activities with their soldiers tend to gain more respect from their soldiers. A leader with tangible goals in their leadership philosophy will keep everyone focused and lead everyone without any distractions. My expectations for my soldiers are to ensure they give their best in everything they do.

A leader is someone that others look to for guidance and instruction. He must be dependable and trustworthy. No one wants to follow someone who can’t get a job done, or someone who twists the truth. This falls in with the core value of integrity; he must be just. Even the most dependable leader can be dreaded if he fails to treat his followers with equality and respect. A good leader will make sure his team knows what they are supposed to be doing, but a great leader will also take the time to serve his followers and show them the proper way to conduct themselves. This

In all my dealings i will maintain the highest degree of integrity and also maintain the standard in place with all of whom i deal with.

Morals, values, and ethics are one of the most important characteristics of a person. These features define who we are and what we believe in. Many different factors come in to play when determining a person`s morals, values, and ethics; childhood upbringing, later life experiences, family, friends, culture, religious beliefs, race, discussions with others, and many others that have an affect a person’s beliefs (Head, 2006). There are times when a person`s beliefs do not agree with someone else’s, which does not mean that one of these people is wrong, it means that we, as individuals, do not all think the same. As a whole, most people have a good sense of right and wrong, which is to say that for the most part most people have good morals,

Ethical leadership surrounds the idea that there are behaviours which are accepted as “good” or “bad” and that leaders can base their views and styles on these behaviours. There have been many cases throughout history of highly ethical leaders and some very unethical leader. An example of an ethical leader would be Abraham Lincoln for his ideals to abolish slavery as a leader even facing opposition.

I feel this key to gaining trust is being consistent and everything I do. What I mean by that is when I say I’m going to do something or be at a certain place at an exact time I am there.

Everyday people have a code that they follow on a day to day basis. This code helps them make decisions about their life, careers and family. However, this type of code would only hurt or harm oneself. The medical code of ethics carry much more weight because they are dealing with people’s lives on a daily basis and one mistake could cost someone their life. Code of ethics is a system that applies values and judgments to the practice of medicine. As a scholarly discipline, medical ethics encompasses its practical application in clinical settings as well as work on its history, philosophy, theology, and sociology (American Medical Association, 2011). In this paper we will discuss how

pread kindness is the message of Rachel Scott. Rachel Scott is the author of “My Ethics, My Codes Of Life.” Someone who is similar to Rachel Scott is Anne Frank. “My Ethics, My Codes Of Life” is about how kindness can cause a chain reaction and people never know how far a little kindness can go. Also, trust, compassion, and beauty are Rachel Scott’s ethics and beliefs. The Diary of Anne Frank is about a Jewish family going into hiding to not get caught by the Nazis. They go through many difficulties between themselves for two years and then get caught. The Diary of Anne Frank and “My Ethics, My Code of Life” are similar and different in the topics of structure, point of view, and

Plato once asked whether you would rather be "an unethical person with a good reputation or an ethical person with a reputation for injustice." Ethical leadership has long been a debate in regards to its importance and place in the universal business world.

Leaders who are ethical are people-oriented, and also aware of how their decisions impact others, and use their social power to serve the greater good instead of self-serving interests.

Leaders are responsible for influencing followers to perform a task, duty, or to be representative of their followers/constituents' wants and needs. In order for a leader to perform their task and duty effectively, they must possess ethics and morals that prized by their followers and that create loyalty among them. Because leaders are supposed to set a strong example of ethical behavior and ethical practices, it is imperative that leadership follow and set morally acceptable behaviors and that leadership conduct itself in a acceptable ethical manner. As such, leadership must conform to certain ethical principles, which Immanuel Kant attempts to define in Fundamental Principles of the Metaphysics of Morals.

A leader isn’t always a manager, but can be a manager in an organization. When you combine the two into ethical leadership you have a strong dynamic. According to Yukl (2010) in cross-cultural research on the essential traits for effective leadership, integrity is near the top of the list in all cultures that have been studied. Most scholars consider integrity to be an important aspect of ethical leadership” (p. 409).
