Topic: "To be an effective leader, a public official must maintain the highest ethical and moral standards."

 

 

In the above lines, the speaker claims that to maintain an effective leadership one should maintain a high moral and ethical standards. Now, this claim is very complex in itself. As, leadership can be broadly classified in three field- business leadership, political leadership and social-spiritual leadership. The leadership in this three fields calls for different sets of moral and ethical values .

 

Firstly, in the field of business a good leader is defined as the one who can produce maximum profits from its running venture .According to this, a official who is successful in making decision for making more profits without having any concern for social , environmental or other obligation .Now, this type of leadership will be without any personal moral or ethical standards.

 

But, some other experts have different opinion about a good business leadership .Admittedly, the one who makes decision after considering all the aspects of social and environment issues and still makes profits. This type of leadership would have good standards of personal moral and ethical issues .

 

In contrast to, in political leadership we can define the good leader who selects public opinions over his personal decision. Moreover, the moral and ethical values in political leadership can be divided in two class they are -: personal values and public values. The personal values of a political leader affects his career very small extent .Although there are some example about the leaders who failed to make a proper decision in personal life and caused a huge fall in political leadership.

 

At the same time, the importance of public moral and ethical values are illustrated by history in example of Hitler and Stalin. The egregious decision of both, resulted into immoral consequences. And hence downfall those type of leader was inevitable .So, maintaining the public moral and ethical values is very important in political field for a long run .

 

There is a third kind of leadership called social-spiritual leadership. The leaders like Gandhi and Martin Luther King makes a great example of such leadership. This type of leadership maintains an high standards of moral and ethical values .As, they had advocated a large mass of people in great movement for common cause .People see them as role models and for this same reason they have to maintain high standards moral and ethical leadership .

 

 

In summary, it seems that the leadership in political, social and spiritual we have to maintain high moral values. As in those two cases we are dealing with large crowds and helping them to gain for a common cause .At the same time, leadership in business field which is more dynamic than the above two, we have to consider points for both social and environmental obligation and in the same time a leader have to make profits for the owners or the shareholder of the company.

 

 

This is my third attempt, I hope that I had improved a little bit :D
