From the Paper
"There is a constant debate: "Are leaders born or are leader made?" Leadership skills can be developed-the qualities required in a leader can be learned. Bernard M. Bass states "Leadership is one of the world's oldest preoccupations." (Wren, 1995) When individuals know and understand both their strengths and their weakness, their effectiveness as leaders is greater. The leadership quality most desired is the ability to have a vision and a dream. No leader will have followers if the followers do not believe in the leader's mission. Strong leaders have a helpful and thoughtful personality. They are also very aware of their own strengths and weakness. The key to success in a career, and consequently in life, is to set attainable goals and work towards attaining these goals. Disciple and dedication is a necessity. A good leader knows how to generate enthusiasm and positive thinking within him or her self and how to broadcast it."

From the Paper
"It is often asked of prospective young teachers - or those who wish to school administrators - what their professional values and beliefs are. In my own case, I feel that one's personal and professional values should be one and the same. In other words, a teacher and/or administrator who strives to be honest and compassionate in the classroom and in the school environment should also strive to be honest and compassionate in his or her personal life, as well. With that in mind, I feel the following values and/or beliefs are integral to a person being a good citizen and a good teaching professional: honesty, empathy and conscientiousness, a willingness to consider new ideas and perspectives, a sense of duty, selflessness, and a commitment to excellence. If a member of the professional school community has all of these qualities, he or she will be both a strong person and a professional able to shape primary and secondary school students in positive ways. As a school leader, I want to make my school just the sort of place where the qualities enumerated above can flourish."

Abstract
This paper discusses the role of business ethics across the multinational enterprise. It discusses the role of ethics in the executive decision making process and offers several recent examples of ethical failings in multinational enterprises. The result of this examination concludes that ethic decision making begins with, the appointment of ethical people.
From the Paper
"The preponderance of evidence seems to support that ethical decision making on the part of international business organizations tends to provide positive financial results in the long term. The inverse is true as well in that short term unethical decision making tends to produce better financial results. This is Occam's razor at its purist which postulates that the simplest explanation, especially in this case, is always sufficient. The complete lack of ethical decision making, within the last five years, has singularly led to a host of spectacular multinational enterprise (MNE) corporate implosions: "WorldCom, Adelphia, Global Crossing, Qwest, Tyco...These...ethical failures in...business...have taken a terrible toll. They have: destroyed some of the world's largest companies and hundreds of billions of dollars in shareholder value..."(Copeland, 2005, p.36)."

Abstract
This book discusses the challenges that await pastors and church leaders in the 21st century and looks at Milco's call to arms for all church leadership in the new millennium. It examines how he feels that it is necessary for church leaders to understand all of the factors that are involved in making ethical decisions and that in order to do this one must understand the new times that we are now living in.
From the Paper
"Although the book is less than two hundred pages in length, Milco does a good job in illustrating the difficulties of life in modern society. There are eleven chapters in all, all of them with a specific focus that builds a strong message that should be listened to by today's church leaders. People today are losing faith in the church and in church leadership, this is a problem that does not impact one religion over another, but seems to be a problem that is non-denominational in nature. It is the job of leadership to reconnect with the parishioners and to make them feel that the church is a place where they can go for guidance and counsel without fear of reprisal. According to Milco, only three out of ten adults admit that they would seek help from a minister during times of difficulty in their lives. He attributes this to a "growing awareness of pastoral indiscretion, possible abuse cases (within the church) and many other situation that are causing parishioners to doubt the wisdom of ministers."

Abstract
This paper argues that organizational ethics is related as much to organizational culture and leadership, or organizational value, as it is to a clear and concise code of ethics. The paper asserts that organizations need to ensure that not only is there a well-documented code of ethics but that all employees, from executive management to the lowest level of employee, are well versed in the document and are well aware of the organization's expectations regarding acceptable and appropriate behavior. The paper goes on to discuss how organizational ethics are maintained through a balanced approach in human resources, through ethical leadership strategies, and though ethical training.
Outline:
Organizational Value
Professional Development
Ethical Leadership
Equality
Ethics Training
From the Paper
"Organizations need to ensure that not only is there a well documented code of ethics but that all employees, from executive management to the lowest level of employee, are well-versed in the document and are well-aware of the organization's expectations regarding acceptable and appropriate behavior. The precedent established by executive management ensures that employees who might waiver when faced with regulatory loopholes or quandaries that seem to blur the line between what is ethical and what is not, will be able to rely on their organization's support by taking the high-road every time or at least in gaining higher opinion and feedback."

Ethics in Business, 2005.
This paper discusses ethic in business especially through corporate leadership.
2,250 words (approx. 9.0 pages), 5 sources, £ 45.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the effect that corporate leadership can have on the ethical standing of a corporation. The author focuses on Dennis Kozlowski, former CEO of Tyco, and the series of unethical actions that he committed during his tenure as CEO of Tyco. The paper draws some conclusions regarding the connection between the unethical actions of a corporate leader and the ethical business environment of the corporation as a whole.
From the Paper
"Corporate greed, excess, and especially illegal activities to those effects have become center-stage in the public's scrutiny of big business. With scandals like Enron, WorldCom, and even Martha Stewart, the public seems to have an almost insatiable blood-lust to see the rich and powerful pay for their crimes. More importantly, however, is the fact that corporate greed and excess among the leaders of a corporation have a way of infiltrating the whole of the culture of a corporation and leading to unethical behavior throughout the company in the long-run. Employees, like children, often learn by example. If the CEO thinks its permissible to abuse company resources, then how long will it be before employees throughout the company hierarchy do the same?"

The Cyropaedia & The Ethics of Today, 2006.
A discussion regarding the Cyropeaedia in relation to modern day business ethics.

Abstract
This paper discusses how in recent years, the relationship between ethics and leadership within the business culture has emerged as a significant concern for regulatory agencies, business organizations and their corresponding management teams alike. The paper defines ethics as a term used to describe a set of values that describe what is right or wrong, good or bad. The paper then explains how the Cyropaedia, or the "Education of Cyrus", offers a classical account of an ideal leader, and can be used to analyze the ethical practices needed in our current day. This paper explains the manner in which ethics can inform human relations between the leaders and the follower.
From the Paper
"Individuals shape the corporate culture, especially those in management positions. A sound code of ethics for a business organization must deal with the responsibilities of managers and others in positions of leadership. This is comparable to the virtues of self-control, liberality and prudence practiced by Cyrus. Whatever the ethical stance or obligation of an organization, it is clear that individuals still have ethical obligations when they see something that is wrong, especially if it can cause great harm. The management of ethics in a business organization is a rational process for exploring all the possible behavior alternatives and selecting the best possible choice for all involved. This rational process builds from established foundations and principles to construct repeatable forms of ethical reasoning (Bottorff, 2004). Ethical flaws can be found at the foundation level, the principle level, or at the application level. "

Abstract
The paper discusses the mid-1990s dramatic and unprecedented economic growth in the United States as precipitated on fraudulent corporate accounting, corrupt internal cultures and ultimately, unsustainable organizational practices. The paper looks at the collapse of Enron, Tyco and WorldCom that were destroyed internally by the embezzlement and greed of their own leaders. The paper shows how the presence of strong, defined and enforced business ethics codes is a determining factor in the long-term viability of corporations.
From the Paper
"This premise may best be exemplified by Enron, the energy concern that emerged in the late 1980s and, within a decade, had established itself as the largest energy provider in North America, also possessing prodigious contracts with the British government and direct ties to the incoming presidency of George W. Bush. But just as Enron had been a symbol for the perceived economic prosperity of the 90's, so too would it become emblematic of the malfeasant underbelly of America's increasingly unregulated and poorly self-governed mega-corporations. In 2002, allegations came to the surface that the organization's core of executive leaders had misrepresented company earnings, participated in insider-trading and had essentially looted the company of its value."

Abstract
Ethical leadership must be effective, efficient and excellent. To achieve these traits, a leader should develop a shared purpose, knowledge, authority and trust in others. This paper explains how good ethics can be applied to school leadership positions. It examines moral codes and state ethic codes, amongst others.
From the Paper
"An ethical leader establishes high standards and expectations for all employees and students, and models appropriate conduct at all times. They respect individuals and recognize their own strengths and weaknesses. They will demonstrate truth and honor in all their dealings and seek to do no harm to students and staff. An ethical leader will also uphold federal and state standards and guidelines, seeking to promote the welfare of their school. They will always conduct themselves in a mature and professional manner whether in school or outside of it, and they will promote a common vision with a diverse faculty."
