Leadership is about vision, principle and integrity. I would define it as a power to motivate others through your words and deeds. And Ethical leadership is ethically motivating others in ethical directions. It's knowing your core values and having the courage to live them in service of the common good. Human Services is a very sensitive field where ethics are of great importance. We would expect to find issues associated with ethical decisions in Human Services.
Taking it seriously is to treat people influenced by their decision with the dignity and respect they are due. Best results an be produced because a broad range of inputs has been considered. Humans are most important and treating them with respect and dignity is the essence of Human Services. Knowledge and Courage are the two most important ingredients of Ethical leadership. Another important pillar of this building is the imagination. Lack of imagination stops you from looking beyond the usual confines of an issue. The ultimate goal of a leader is always recognition and fame but of an ethical leader is the Respect in the hearts of the people.
