Leadership and Ethics

Since leaders make daily decisions based on their values, they influence the ethical behavior in their community greatly. These decisions range from small ones that affect some people for a short time while others are substantial and have considerable long-term repercussions on the directions of organizations and communities. Others are even more profound and determining who they are as moral persons and the shape of the world in which they and future generations will live. In “The Scorpion King”, Mathayus decides to finish his mission to kill Memnon and avenge his brother after they are discovered and Memnon executes Jesup. This decision sets the stage for the defeat of the tyrant Memnon and brings a stop to his senseless killings and oppression when Mathayus takes the throne.

There are four kinds of leaders (Boaks, Michael. P1). Thought leaders use ideas to change the perceptions of their followers and bring about change. Courageous leaders are those who chase after their dreams in the face of intense resistance. Inspirational leaders influence popular stance by the passion of their commitment to their cause. Servant leaders fight to ease people’s suffering by fighting obstacles that keep them from being the best they can be and are driven by the desire to create a free and fair environment for their followers. History enables people to choose leaders based on the traits that have their predecessors succeed. They refrain from picking those candidates that have traits from predecessors who failed in the past. History can also make people choose bad leadership by basing their selection on other factors other than their performance like race or creed. Businesses that deal with technical machinery and processes need highly specialized employees and leadership to ensure high levels of efficiency and integrity.
