 There are several leadership models that focus on virtue or principles. One is values-based leadership, another is servant leadership. A third that Brown and Trevino write about is ethical leadership, which they define as honest, caring and principled people who make fair and balanced decisions. In short, the ethical leader is virtuous, communicates ethics to their subordinates and holds those people accountable to the organization's ethical standards. How does this apply to you? Whether you think of yourself as a model of ethical leadership or not, you should answer some important questions. What standards do you set? Do your standards reflect the values of the organization? Do your actions, behavior and decisions align well with the organization's values? You are a role model for your subordinates and your peers. Be intentional as you develop your subordinates and be conscious of the fact that you are a role model. Lead well this week.
