The Sructure of Moral Leadership

Dr. Waseso Segoro, Ir. MM.

• Leadership is a process of morality to the degree that leaders engage with followers on the basis of shared motives and values and goals

• Leaders, shape as well as express and mediate conflict.

• Leaders, whatever their professions of harmony, do not shun conflict.

• Conflicts vary in origin, in and between nation, races, regions, religions, economic enterprises, labor unions, communities, families, and individuals themselves

• The great bulk of leadership activity consists of the day-to-day interaction of leaders and followers characterized by the processes.

• Leadership is an influence relationship between leaders and followers who intend real changes that reflect their mutual purposes

• Business leaders’ values matter to the organization only if they act on them.

• In business ethics and in life we always hope that doing the right thing, while costly and sometimes painful in the short run, will pay of in the long run.

1. EXECUTIVE LEADERS CREATE ETHICAL CULTURE

• Ethical culture can be thought of as a subset of the broader organizational culture and includes a number of formal and informal systems that work together to support ethical conduct in the organization.

• Senior executives must develop a reputation for ethical leadership by being visible and in the forefront on ethics issues.

• Executive Ethical Leader Reputation Matrix : Moral Person (integrity,honesty,trustwortiness) and Moral Manager (ethic and values, as firm’s ethical values).

2. Executive Ethical Leadership is about Reputation, which Rests on these Two Pillars

• Moral Person (tells followers how leader behaves) : Traits (Honesty,Integrity,Trust), Behaviors (Openness, Concern for people, Personal morally), Decision-making (values-based, fair)

• Moral Manager (tells followers how they should behave and holds them accountable) : Role modeling (Visible ethical action), Rewards/disciplin (Hold people accountable for ethical conduct), Communicating (An “ethics and value” message)

3. Executive Ethical Leader Reputation Matrix

• Unethical Leadership : weak moral persons and weak moral managers.

• Hypocritical Leadership : the leader is strong on communication aspect of moral management but clearly doesn’t “walk the ethical talk”. Do as I say, not as I do.

• Ethically Neutral Leadership : top managers are neither strong ethical leaders nor unethical leaders. They simply don’t provide leadership in the crucial area of ethics, and employees aren’t sure what the leader thinks about ethics or if she or he cares. There is little or no ethics message coming from the top.

4. SUPERVISORS LEAD ON ETHICS EVERY DAY

• Employeees learn by observing how leaders behave toward them and others, how leaders make decisions, and whether leaders set explisit ethical standards and take concentrate action to reinforce those standards everyday.

• Ethical Leadership is more concrete and more about the “here and now”.

• Vision and Values are abstract and future oriented.

5. A GUIDE FOR ETHICAL DECISION MAKING

Several philosophical theories exist that can help serve as a framework for making a morally correct choice. Five of the more popular ethical theories are outlined as follows :

• The rights theory, this approach says that in making a decision the basic moral rights of all involved must be protected.

• The common good theory, which states that the good of an individual is inseparable from the good the larger society

• The fairness theory, emphasizes that an ethical action treats everyone equally, without showing either favoritism or discrimination against anyone.

• The utilitarian approach, asks that all the available alternatives be evaluated and the choice be made by picking the option that causes the greatest good to the greatest number of people.

• The virtue ethics approach, says that when making a decision, we must choose the alternative that builds desirable character traits within us.(virtuous traits such as honesty, selflessness,courage)

6. CREATE YOUR OWN THEORY (KELLY SMITH CASE)

• The dollar value of the transaction makes an impact on our actions ?

• Is your reaction to unethical behavior the same in all situations, or does it differ depending on circumtances?

7. CHAPTER SUMMARY

• It is critical for leader not only to model ethical behaviors in their own lives but also to be perceived as ethical by those members of their organization who only see them from a distance.

• Just an ethical leaders can cultivate an ethical culture, unethical leaders can create and promote unethical climate throughout the organization.

• Such hypocritical leaders create a culture of mistrust and cynicism.

• The ultimate test of moral leadership is its capacity to transcend the claims of multiplicity of everyday wants and needs and expectations, to respond to the higher levels of moral development, and to relate leadership behavior- its roles, choices, style, commitments- to a set of reasoned, relatively explicit, concious values.
