Prompt: Although sound moral judgment is an important characteristic of an effective leader, it is not as important as a leader’s ability to maintain the respect of his or her peers. Directions:Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the statement and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should consider ways in which the statement might or might not hold true and explain how these considerations shape your position. Essay: A successful leader needs to express a multitude of important characteristics. Two of these characteristics are good moral judgment and the ability to hold the respect of peers. It is more important that a leader maintains respect from his peers over possessing strong moral judgment because having respect increases the effectiveness of the leader and their actions while in power. Maintaining the respect of peers allows a leader to inact productive measures. When a leader is highly regarded in the eyes of the public, people are more likely to trust and throw public support behind their decisions. For example, if the leader of a high school math club inacted the decision to expand the club to include gifted 8th graders, his decision would be supported and trusted more by his peers if he already has a foundation of respect. This decision has little to do with moral judgment and a lot to do with the respected decision making process of the leader. If respect were to be absent, his peers may counter this idea and prevent the inclusion. Therefore, respect from peers is essential for productive actions and change from a leader. Additionally, maintaining respect as a leader is important to keeping the position as leader and preventing civil unrest. Leadership should be built on a solid foundation that is trusted by the constituents. If the constituents do not respect who is in charge, then there is the chance for rebellion against the leadership and the leader would loss their position. For example, if the leader of the math club posted on his social media about how much he hated math, then his return to school on the Monday would likely be met by extreme scrutiny from his peers. This loss of respect would likely lead to his downfall as the leader of the team and the decision to include gifted 8th graders would never go forward. Therefore, respect remains a critical aspect of keeping ones leadership position and preventing rebellion. However, there are situations in which sound moral judgment can be more important than maintaining respect. For example, as a powerful leader, such as the President of the United States, it is important to resist temptations of corruption and instead follow sound moral judgment to make smart, empathetic decisions for the public. Making decisions based on a solid foundation of moral judgment is crucial for social change even though it may cause the loss of respect in certain populations. For example, when President Obama ruled gay marriage legal in the United States, he was making this decision partly based on his moral judgment as a leader. Although this decision lead to the loss of respect in the more conservative populations, the moral soundness that he expressed through this judgment was extremely beneficial for society. Therefore, it was more important in this circumstance that the leader expressed moral soundness over caring about the respect of his peers. In conclusion, maintaining respect as a leader is often more important than having sound moral judgment because the actions and decisions of the leader can be more productive and successful with the respect of peers. What the leader lacks in moral judgment can often be made up by the willingness of his peers to help form and support the leader's decisions.

In order for any company to improve their business effectively and efficiently, workers must be under the correct guidance in order to progress. However, every company must have a designated leader to help guide the company in the right direction. There are several characteristics that make a leader great with some weighing more than others. For example, a leader's ability to maintain the respect of his or her peers is more important than having sound moral judgement. A leader wanting respect towards his/her peers has detrimental effects to the progression of the group. Without showing respect to your peers, you are inherently causing a severe lack of communication because you won't consider what any other person's opinion may be. If CEO of Amazon, Jeff Bezos, had no respect for the people who worked for him, Amazon would be far from being one of the top selling websites in the country. Proper communication aids in creating further progress which positively affects all workers. Moreover, not only will respect create better communication between peers, it will also create a mutual respect between the peers and their leader. "I'll respect you, if you respect me" can not be more relevant to circumstances between a leader and their peers in society today. With hot topics such as feminism and racism, society has now more than ever considered respect a crucial fundamental aspect of any individual. Only when one feels as they are being respected, especially by their leader as being someone greatly admired, will they then show their respect towards that individual. Aside from maintaining respect to one's peers, as a leader, maintaining a general sense of morality is also needed. Without having a common sense of morality, a leader will not discern what may be accepted. However, if a leader emphasizes more on the perception of morality and doesn't emphasize the need for respect, then how would one react to someone from their peers with different morals as them? Without having the fundamental quality of respect, your conspicuous actions against those with opposing opinions of you will cause negative effects on your image as a person, especially as a leader. Nonetheless, when you show respect to someone, you inherently respect everything about them--including their morals regardless of what they are. Ultimately, a leader's ability to maintain respect for his or her peers should be emphasized more than having a good sense of moral judgement.

A good leader is characterized by their ability to motivate, generate adequate support, and pave the way to an idealistic situation for the entire group. The accomplishment of these attributes becomes problematic sans the respect of the followers. Lack of willingness of followers to carry out a leader's wishes and misjudgments formed due to incorrect or incomplete evaluation of a situation may lead to decisions that may prove fatal to the group. Sound moral judgment does not necessarily affirm good leadership qualities within an individual. It is the respect and support of followers that assert that a person possesses good leadership qualities. Without their support and belief, a leader loses his or her position over them. If the leader does not have his or her follower's respect, it becomes difficult for them to execute their plans and guide their followers. The so mentioned followers may not carry the will to carry out their leader's orders since they lack the motivation and faith needed. A good leader is characterized by their ability to motivate, generate adequate support, and pave the way to an idealistic situation for the entire group. The accomplishment of these attributes becomes problematic sans the respect of the followers. It may also be the case that the agenda and plan of action may not carry as much value as a leader may assess it to carry. Often lack of second opinions may lead to erroneous decisions that impact the group as a whole. It may be due to lack of experience needed for the situation or overlooking of certain nuances. If a leader loses their followers respect, it may point to the case that the leader is unable to reach the mark and must reevaluate their stances. Hence, for a leader to ignore the lack of respect from their followers may prove to be an invitation to misjudgments. Meanwhile, at times an unpopular yet necessary decision may call for its execution even when it lacks public support. At times, the followers are unable to assess the need for the action due probable to lack of experience or herd mentality. These situations call for the leader to overlook the respect aspect and move forward with their decision. In conclusion, a leader's job requires them to go against their follower's wishes when the situation calls for it. Loss of respect may be inevitable. Concluding this analysis, I feel that maintaining the respect for one's followers is vital for the security of a leader's position in the group.

Issue: Although sound moral judgment is an important characteristic of an effective leader, it is not as important as a leader’s ability to maintain the respect of his or her peers. Content: Judging soundly the moral characteristics and maintaing the respect of peers are not same thing for a leader . Firstly, Judging moral characteritics gives the leader a unique quality that how fine he can give a decision regarding a factor . People can recognize a leader through the observation of his judging capabilities by this way . Again people also able to know how moral judgemental facts lies inside that leader. Its helps to bring enough faith for a leader if one is right in his ethics,norms and responsibilities. A leader himself know him better than outside people,thus applying moral characteristics during judgement of a issue is very important. Ensuring equal right for all people can only be get when a jugde is at its best ,right and responsible mood. Only in this situation authentic decision regarding a issue can be find from a judge. On the other hand, It is not the only responsibility for a judge to give moral judgement but also to respect his peers . Respecting the fellows is an important factor in a human life . Because its not everything that i am performing my duties , so thats all. But one judge should also have a corner in his mind for respecting his peers. It will give him the accceptability to the mass people .People will be happy with such behave from judge because it satisfies their expected demand. Though it is found that many of our leader dont recognize the people after going to top managerial position , thus from this situation ,getting proper judgement become tough sometimes. If a judge remember in his mind that , we all are people of same flesh blood , so we should respect each other .And only when we can culture this in our mind and daily life ,we can be a real human being. So,we should all try to be a good human while most of us try to be a leader and wants money,power . But being a true leader with moral characteristics and good respect to the peers will make a leader a perfect leader with enough human qualities. We will shoutly then tell , its a true leader .

Although sound moral judgment is an important characteristic of an effective leader, it is not as important as a leader’s ability to maintain the respect of his or her peers. Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the statement and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should consider ways in which the statement might or might not hold true and explain how these considerations shape your position. The makeup of a great leader is not clearly defined. This is evident is presidential debates and elections. However, it cannot be denied that one component of an effective leader is the ability to gain the respect of his or her peers.In order to implement effective change, a leader must understand the needs of their peers. This understanding develops from forming authentic relationships that involve in depth conversations and spending quality time with them. Once a leader understands where their peers are coming from they can implement effective change that has a positive impact.A leader that works hard to get to know their peers gains their trust. Trust is important for maintaining peace and order. If peers do not trust their leader its possible that leadership could be overthrown or it will be harder to win re-election in the future.Perhaps during the time of war or civil unrest respect cannot be at the forefront of a leaders mind. During war and civil unrest quick decisions must be made and its impossible to take the time to listen to everyones concerns.Morality alone does not make an effective leader. Many dictators have led on a self proclaimed basis of morality only to lead their countries into war and turmoil. Effective leadership involves moral judgment and respect from peers.

Issue task-01-Magoosh Although sound moral judgment is an important characteristic of an effective leader, it is not as important as a leader’s ability to maintain the respect of his or her peers. Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the statement and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should consider ways in which the statement might or might not hold true and explain how these considerations shape your position. – Topic definition The statement represents a view that I am not fully agree about its main notions, moral judgment and maintaining the peers’ respect, to be considered as two opposite sides of one spectrum, but considering them as a “cause and effect” issue, would suggest a better logical impression. – Transition to thesis This blanket statement put the ability of a leader for making unbiased decisions in front of his or her ability to gain admiration form the peers while there is an interaction sense between both abilities and the two do not exclude each other. For instance, a hypothetical leader in a building company which force his group members to work hardly, out of their working hours, to complete a project sooner than the due time, just in order to show his abilities to the peers and gain their attention, actually will lose the insight of a moral judgment in the cost of receiving the peers’ respect, while the peers also, which witnessing his actions, would not respect him even though expressing their gratitude. Given the history of the leaderships, it is proved that at the end of the day people would deeply admire leaders which consider the human rights and ethical standards in his or her decisions. This is what, as I mentioned above, should be regarded as a “cause and effect “issue in which without having a moral judgment, gaining respects, in general terms, would rarely happen. In fact, this is the human nature that we all profoundly respect leaders and admire their effective personality according how much they make impassioned decisions in hard situations which benefit both their team members and the company. – Thesis As we will discuss below, the ability to gain the attention of other leaders through adjusting the unbiased decisions would lead to an effective and stable personality for a leader. This also means that the interaction of both ability is vital for a powerful leadership personality. – Body 01 To expand on this opinion, it is important for an effective leader to be careful about the second half of the statement and do not sacrifice the ethical issues in order to receive the respect of his or her peers. Take for instance, a company leader which fires a team member at the middle of a serious meeting held with other companies, just because that person did not prepare the presentation file for that companies, on time. This severe action not only cannot attract the other leaders admire but also will create a big question mark about the leader’s qualifications to deal with the issues in the hard circumstances. Now, assume that the leader deals with this unlucky accident with empathy and, despite of some other leader’s annoyance or the risk of losing the project, postpones the meeting for the another day and in person, warns that employee about his or her irresponsibility. Certainly, the other leaders will esteem this in control personality especially when they encounter a professional presentation work via their upcoming meeting. It is where I mention that the interplay of both abilities, means having a moral judgment to get the admire of his peers, will work powerfully for a leader to be regarded as an effective personality. – Body 02 In contrast to the statement, and while the interaction of both abilities is yet valid, having a moral judgment plays more important role in this story. In fact, there is a subtle difference between the efficacy of the two. That hypothetical leader which her moral judgment marked him out, will have a great chance to be respected by his peers as an effective character, even if he does not mind to get their admiration. But in contrast a boss which just try to attract the other peers’ respect, without considering the morality in his judgment, certainly, would not be seen as a powerful leader, but a social climber. Perhaps the better say for this statement would be to state, “Although sound moral judgment is an important characteristic of an effective leader, it is not as important as a leader’s ability to maintain the respect of his or her peers through proving them his or her ability in moral judgments.” – Body 03 This last example provides the most proof in how focusing on one side of this spectrum, the ability of making moral judgments, and reinforcing it, would affect the other side of the spectrum in a positive and short way, receiving the most praise of the peers without trying hard to reach it directly. Consider how the company and team members would benefit from an ethical leader which makes good decisions. This is while the leader himself/herself also benefits from the popularity gained in accordance to his or her moral judgments, among other peers and employees. Actually the most successful leaders, all over the history, were the ones who first established the moral compasses of their companies and groups and after that it was the respect which sought them in every corner not they searched for it. – Conclusion In conclusion, one may accept one of the two main notions expressed in this all-encompassing statement, but surely a successful leader would sustainably gain the other peers’ respect just through applying the moral compasses.

* I have been out of school for a while and KNOW I need to improve. Constructive criticism only please! Thanks =) "People most respect the powerful not when they exercise their power, but when they refrain from exercising it." Isn’t being powerful when someone in power exercises their power? If not, what would distinguish them from anyone else? Those in power are more respected when they fully take on the role and exercise their power. Police officers are highly respected and valuable to many communities. They earn this respect by exercise their power to enforce the law and keep people safe. Government officials, from Mayors to Senators to the President are constantly exercising their power, making big decisions to better our country. They are respected for doing their job – exercising their power and making big decisions that will affect many. On the other hand, workers at a restaurant may have more respect for their manager when they roll up their sleeves and serve food to patrons along side them. Or when a nurse manager puts on scrubs and helps a struggling staff take care of a heavy workload of sick patients. Those in power need to exercise their power in order to do their job well. A job well done is the perfect recipe for success.
