Abstract:
Ethics and leadership can be an important contribution to an organization and society. Without ethics in
leadership, organizations may take on a role that could negatively impact the entire world. Ethics can be
used to provide organizational leaders with guidelines to aid them in their career roles as to promote
them as a good role model to the employees that serve under them. Several ethical theories and principles
exist that can be used as tools or guides for ethical leaders, however, not every theory is good for every
situation. People have personal moral standards and values that drive their decisions.
