As the ethics of a leader become the new norm for conduct in the organizations they manage (Brown, Trevino, 595) it is clearly a critical issue for every organization to consider and continually evaluate. Ethics of leaders permeate organizational structures and cultures over time, redefining ethical boundaries over years of decisions made to a certain ethical level, in effect modeling the culture to their own ethical standards (Mayer, Kuenzi, Greenbaum, Bardes, Salvador, 108)
Ethical Leadership in Business The foundation of any successful enterprise over the long-term is the ability to continually sustain and grow trust in the vision, mission, objectives and strategies of its leaders. To the extent a leader is ethically solid and makes decisions that take into account the entire organizations' well-being is the extent to which they maintain a high level of ethical standards in their organizational cultures (Toor, Ofori, 533)
Transformational Leadership The transformational leadership style is highly suited to the task of bringing about and/or assisting in the transition of organizational change. This might seem like a somewhat obvious statement given the name of the leadership style, but in fact transformational leadership has been primarily studied and implemented in stable organizational environments, and it was not until relatively recently that evidence of the leadership style's potential during periods of major transition became apparent (Hinduan et al
There are of course positive aspects and drawbacks to each of the potential company leaders, but any negative aspects of one individual's leadership can be mitigated by a more temperate and even handed leadership structure, yet one that still allows for efficient and decisive decisions to be made and carried out. Studies have shown that leadership is often more even-handed when measured in terms of influence rather than in terms of procedural behavior, and this knowledge will be directly and explicitly applied to the Gene One leadership structure in the situation at hand (Hysom & Johnson 2006)
Racial integration became the calling card of the Titans, and their pride led them to victory even more than their playing. Responding to conflict with a low level of anxiety and maintaining the emotional stability required to withstand turmoil, the change leader inspires trust and confidence in others (Clay, 2010)
The community itself needs transformation, and Boone becomes the inadvertent change leader. Boone's style of change leadership reflects core principles including acting with purpose, acting with empathy, motivating the masses, collaborating in order to compete, and remaining humble and confident at the same time (Fullan, 2011)
Therefore, it bases leadership principles on individual transactions that greatly affect followers or workers in an organization. Such transactions often included a highly documented and stratified system of punishments and rewards, which apply to specific transactions or actions that followers make (Ivey and Kline, 2010, p
Essentially, implicit leadership theory is defined as a category of …beliefs about the kinds of attributes, personality characteristics, skills, and behaviors that contribute to or impede outstanding leadership. These belief systems are assumed to affect the extent to which an individual accepts and responds to others as leaders (Javidan et al
Oftentimes, transformational leaders are charismatic and are endowed with natural leadership attributes that endear them to people. Their goals are not decidedly visionary, and involve some degree of transformation within an organization and its surroundings (Traywick, 2008)
You may need to carry some over. PROBLEM STATEMENT Only 50-60% of leaders admit to being effective in the critical leadership skills needed to foster quality relations with employees (Newhall, 2012)
The specific objectives of the undertaking will be to assess the strengths of a number of specific research questions and hypotheses associated with the demographic and job satisfaction measures of the targeted faculty member and their perceived link to the leadership style of their department deans.

Ethical Business / Leadership Themes in Peer-Reviewed Articles "Addressing Possible Conflicts of Ethical Management" -- this article by John Bringinshaw posits that businesses should provide updates to the public and stakeholders not just on the profits, but on the impact that the company's economic performance has had on the environment and on society (Bringinshaw, 2006)
"Leadership and Business Ethics: Does it Matter?" This article was published well before the Enron and WorldCom scandals, but the points made are germane to this post-Enron era. To wit: a) Ethical behavior goes well beyond what is legal or profitable; b) leadership is responsible to conform to ethical standards; c) leadership at two levels must hold ethical values high as a priority (executive management and departmental management are equally obliged to be ethical and theory and practice) (Minkes, 1999, p
"The Link Between Management Behavior and Ethical Philosophy in the Wake of the Enron Convictions." Author Shane Premeaux posits that while the high-visibility scandals in business (notably Enron's messiness) did not "really impact actual ethical behavior much," but the jail sentences handed down to Enron's executives seemed to make enough of an impression to begin to change attitudes (Premeaux, 2009, 13)
