...Leadership Okechukwu Ekedebe Liberty University Abstract This work deals with leadership, the absence of leadership and how it affects both the business and the employee generally. Examples were given from the pattern of leadership between two managers in a contracting firm, the first one has no regard whatsoever for ethics and the other one has high ethics. It also looked at the working relationship between employees and a manager that can be trusted and how it affects both employee motivation and the productivity of the organization. Problem As a student, I had the opportunity to work with two different contracting firms. The norm for most contracting firms is to pay employees their basic salary and encourage them to go out and hustle for contracts. Each contract gotten means that the employee that got the contract will apart from receiving basic salary, he/she will also get 10% of the profit from the contract. A typical working day environment with my first manager consist of people shouting and calling each other unprintable names, police officers paying us visits and numerous court summons, all of these are from people who he had deals with and could not keep to the terms. He ate people’s money and was known as a man with little integrity. Instead of his workers bringing jobs to him, they rather give it to someone else and just sit in the office and receive basic salary, I watched this firm crumble. My second experience was with a manager who...

...principles of Total Quality Management and thus to propose a tentative framework of relationships. Design/methodology/approach: The paper is conceptual. It reviews some lists of values present in literature, and summarizes them in a more comprehensive list. Then it follows the definitions of these values according to some philosophical models, and the analysis of their implications in the business life in general. Thus, tries to explain the relation between them and the principles of TQM, passing through the two mediating variables passion and trust. Findings: A model of quality management based on personal values is proposed. Research limitations: The lack of empirical data that can validate the model, and the lack of specific hypothesis of investigation. Practical Implications (if possible): Considering the emphasis placed on personal values, the model can have some practical implications in the field of recruitment, promotion, and leadership. Originality/value: The model fills the gap between personal values and the principles of Total Quality Management, being the first attempt to present a comprehensive model of interactions. A novel framework that can provide a basis for further research into the profound nature of quality management has been proposed. Furthermore, some implications that should be useful for recruiters and managers are discussed. Short biography of the author Mr. Moccia is a Lt.Col. of the Italian Army.

...Integrity by definition is, “the quality of being honest and fair” (http://www.merriam-webster.com). By army standard it is, “Do what’s right, legally and morally. Integrity is a quality you develop by adhering to moral principles. It requires that you do and say nothing that deceives others. As your integrity grows, so does the trust others place in you. The more choices you make based on integrity, the more this highly prized value will affect your relationships with family and friends, and, finally, the fundamental acceptance of yourself.” (http://www.army.mil/values/) Integrity is needed in the work place to help provide trust with in the working environment.

...The role of Leadership in Organizational Integrity, and five modes of Ethical Leadership Components of Ethical Leadership. Ethical leadership begins with the way leaders perceive and conceptualize the world around them. Ethical leadership, organizational ethics, and social responsibility are inseparable concepts. They are developing concepts, to be sure, but inseparable. How ethical leaders relate to and come to understand the world around them involves judgment and action. These can be developed. In sum, the leader's role is to guide the human potential of the organization's stakeholders to achieve organizational aspirations in ways that liberate rather constrain their imaginations and judgment. Ethical leadership must, then, be effective, efficient, and excellent if it is not to waste human potential. It is not enough to be ethical in one's individual actions to be an ethical leader. To be effective, efficient, and excellent, four components of ethical leadership must be understood and developed: purpose, knowledge, authority, and trust. The relationship between these four components can be visualized as interrelated components, as described in the figure opposite. Attention to any one component alone is incomplete and misleading. * Purpose-The ethical leader reasons and acts with organizational purposes firmly in mind. This provides focus and consistency. * Knowledge-The ethical leader has the knowledge to judge and act prudently. This knowledge is found...

...successful organization. Organizational behavior is a non-performance related set of practices which when implemented in organizations lend good credibility to the organization for its ethics.(Campbell) Ethics involves moral issues and choices and deal with right and wrong behavior.(Luthans) Businesses need people who have strong moral leadership skills and who are guided by clearly defined business ethics. Ethical standards have an important role not only in business decisions but also in a person’s everyday life. If a person is making unethical decisions others tend to not want to follow that person and the level of respect and trust are diminished, which can lead to a shift in employee organizational behavior. Even though there is not a published set of ethics to follow the Institute of Management Accountants (IMA) has a code of ethical principles that include honesty, fairness, objectivity, and responsibility. The following responsibilities are standards in which all members should comply: Competence, Confidentiality, Integrity, Objectivity, and Resolution of Ethical Conflict. An effective leader should maintain a high level of confidence, integrity, and credibility by upholding his/her ethical responsibilities to the shareholders, customers, employees, and society. In order to be an effective leader one must foster positive relationships at all levels. One can achieve this by being honest and disclosing fully any and all information pertaining to the subject matter, and not...

...Trust Charlotte Colbert Lincoln University Abstract Trust is earned, lost, re-earned and at times, lost again. Trust has the opportunity to become stronger or the ability to lend itself to brokenness. The one thing that trust can never be is given.

It paves the way for ethical behavior.” (Asacker,2004). Personal, business or otherwise, trust can extend or deplete a relationship or organization of any kind. According to Asacker’s, “ Ethicis in the workplace, “when honesty - and its natural offspring,...

...Integrity Essay Integrity, the antonym is dishonesty and the synonym is honor. This paints a fairly clear picture within these two words. Honesty is a pure ethical principle through which a person can earn respect and honor. Respect and honor from others helps build lasting personal and business relationships, which leads to long-term success. Ethics and success are deeply linked. Ethics are the foundation on which long-term success is built. Integrity is defined as the adherence to moral and ethical principles. Integrity is, therefore, the result of strong ethics. It is a quality I strive to uphold. Since I was little, integrity was not something merely encouraged by my family, it was expected. Honesty was the only policy and responsibility was something to be demonstrated daily. My family has not only encouraged, but demanded that I grow to be an ethical young woman. I am grateful for my parents’ high standards and good example because it has laid the foundation for my success in and out of the classroom. My father was part of a committee to formulate the guiding principles of his company. They wrote this statement as a cornerstone for their business: “We will demand honesty and integrity in everything we do.” Beneath this statement they included a “Why this is important?” clause that states “By consistently doing the right thing with conviction, candor, compassion, and courage, we will earn and keep the respect of our clients and coworkers...

...Integrity in a Manager Linda Tualla MGT230 Karen Hatfield November 7, 2011 Integrity in a Manager It is often quoted “talent will get you in the door,” but the character is what allows you to remain. Fine professional values and solid ethical behavior encourage the building of a person’s character, which directly affects his or her career success. One such valuable attribute of our character is integrity. Integrity is essential to an excellent manager. Integrity is defined as “a quality of character requiring honesty and courage, a virtue necessary for trust, the most important quality desired in a leader” (Manning & Curtis, 2007, p. 398). When asked about their favorite manager, many people will agree on the traits that define integrity. Two primary responsibilities as managers are managing department functions and managing people. Balancing the two can already be difficult, but the major challenge would have to be managing the workforce. Employees look to managers for guidance, honest feedback, and leadership. Managers who guide with integrity give performance reviews with sincerity, honesty, and directness when providing feedback to their employees. Someone who conducts regular performance evaluations is considered someone who devotes the time to review employee performances on-the-job to prepare an objective and truthful evaluation. This manager is sincere with his or her employees about their strengths...

Contrast transformational with transactional leadership. 4. Identify the skills that visionary leaders exhibit. 5. Explain how framing influences leadership effectiveness. 6. Identify the four roles that team leaders perform. 7. Explain the role of a mentor. 8. Describe how on-line leadership differs from face-to-face leadership. 9. Identify when leadership may not be necessary. 10. Explain how to find and create effective leaders. CHAPTER OVERVIEW Effective managers today must develop trusting relationships with those whom they seek to lead. Why? As organizations have become less stable and predictable, strong bonds of trust are likely to be replacing bureaucratic rules in defining expectations and relationships. Managers who are not trusted are not likely to be effective leaders. Organizations are increasingly searching for managers who can exhibit transformational leadership qualities. They want leaders with visions and the charisma to carry those visions out. While true leadership effectiveness may be a result of exhibiting the right behaviors at the right time, the evidence is quite strong that people have a relatively uniform perception of what a leader should look like. They attribute “leadership” to people who are smart, personable, verbally adept, and the like. To the degree that managers project...

...impacts resulted in hundreds of millions of dollars as damage and tarnish their reputation and their prospective career, not to mention damaging their prospective families financial security and, in some cases, serving many years in prison as the ultimate consequences. In today’s volatile, high tech, interdependent business world, charisma leadership style without conscience and being clever without character are a recipe for economic and personal failure of epic proportions. As quote from President Roosevelt –“To educate the mind without the morals is to educate a menace to society.
