This paper discusses the role of business ethics across the multinational enterprise. It discusses the role of ethics in the executive decision making process and offers several recent examples of ethical failings in multinational enterprises. The result of this examination concludes that ethic decision making begins with, the appointment of ethical people.
From the Paper
"The preponderance of evidence seems to support that ethical decision making on the part of international business organizations tends to provide positive financial results in the long term. The inverse is true as well in that short term unethical decision making tends to produce better financial results. This is Occam's razor at its purist which postulates that the simplest explanation, especially in this case, is always sufficient. The complete lack of ethical decision making, within the last five years, has singularly led to a host of spectacular multinational enterprise (MNE) corporate implosions: "WorldCom, Adelphia, Global Crossing, Qwest, Tyco...These...ethical failures in...business...have taken a terrible toll. They have: destroyed some of the world's largest companies and hundreds of billions of dollars in shareholder value..."(Copeland, 2005, p.36)."

From the Paper
"There is a constant debate: ?Are leaders born or are leader made?? Leadership skills can be developed?the qualities required in a leader can be learned. Bernard M. Bass states ?Leadership is one of the world?s oldest preoccupations.? (Wren, 1995) When individuals know and understand both their strengths and their weakness, their effectiveness as leaders is greater. The leadership quality most desired is the ability to have a vision and a dream. No leader will have followers if the followers do not believe in the leader?s mission. Strong leaders have a helpful and thoughtful personality. They are also very aware of their own strengths and weakness. The key to success in a career, and consequently in life, is to set attainable goals and work towards attaining these goals. Disciple and dedication is a necessity. A good leader knows how to generate enthusiasm and positive thinking within him or her self and how to broadcast it."

From the Paper
"It is often asked of prospective young teachers - or those who wish to school administrators - what their professional values and beliefs are. In my own case, I feel that one's personal and professional values should be one and the same. In other words, a teacher and/or administrator who strives to be honest and compassionate in the classroom and in the school environment should also strive to be honest and compassionate in his or her personal life, as well. With that in mind, I feel the following values and/or beliefs are integral to a person being a good citizen and a good teaching professional: honesty, empathy and conscientiousness, a willingness to consider new ideas and perspectives, a sense of duty, selflessness, and a commitment to excellence. If a member of the professional school community has all of these qualities, he or she will be both a strong person and a professional able to shape primary and secondary school students in positive ways. As a school leader, I want to make my school just the sort of place where the qualities enumerated above can flourish."

Abstract
This book discusses the challenges that await pastors and church leaders in the 21st century and looks at Milco?s call to arms for all church leadership in the new millennium. It examines how he feels that it is necessary for church leaders to understand all of the factors that are involved in making ethical decisions and that in order to do this one must understand the new times that we are now living in.
From the Paper
"Although the book is less than two hundred pages in length, Milco does a good job in illustrating the difficulties of life in modern society. There are eleven chapters in all, all of them with a specific focus that builds a strong message that should be listened to by today?s church leaders. People today are losing faith in the church and in church leadership, this is a problem that does not impact one religion over another, but seems to be a problem that is non-denominational in nature. It is the job of leadership to reconnect with the parishioners and to make them feel that the church is a place where they can go for guidance and counsel without fear of reprisal. According to Milco, only three out of ten adults admit that they would seek help from a minister during times of difficulty in their lives. He attributes this to a ?growing awareness of pastoral indiscretion, possible abuse cases (within the church) and many other situation that are causing parishioners to doubt the wisdom of ministers.?

"The Ethical Difference", 2004.
An analysis of ?The Ethical Difference? by Joseph Potts on leadership and management.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper reviews the book' "The Ethical Difference"' written by Joseph Potts. The paper contends that Potts, in discussing leadership and management, provides a newer, more humanistic perspective in viewing interaction and relations within an organization. The paper discusses the issue of leadership versus management, giving the issue an analysis based on the humanist paradigm, which allows readers to look into the ethical implications and benefits that leadership brings to an organization as opposed to management.
From the Paper
"This distinction is vital in establishing the main theme of the book, which attempts to discuss the ethical difference between leadership and management. Under a leadership, members in an organization are dealt with by the leader in a personal and social manner. That is, a team, with its leader and members, come up with a solution to the problem or task by looking at both the skills and roles that each member play in the team. Skills and knowledge serve as the functional aspects of decision-making in a team, where rationalism and logic are used alongside the socio-emotional aspect?that which involves communicating and interacting efficiently with other members of the team. This kind of guidance from a leader demonstrates the ethics of working with other people: in leadership, people witness a genuine respect for every individual in the team, and considers the welfare of each during a decision-making process."

Abstract
In this paper, one can see how Plato's greater good helps us to understand how respect for the law helps build real business value over the long-term. Not only does cheating and fraud destroy society and the majority of business holders, one can see this eroding real talent that will further build innovation for the future. This paper reflects how by showing good ethics in the workplace, and in leadership, one can see how creativity and strategic talent will create an abundance of profit within legal boundaries.
From the Paper
"This business study will examine the role of proper ethics in the classical Greek tradition, but within the premise of modern business. In the case of the Martha Stewart as an example of business ethics abuse, one can realize the depth of corruption that has damaged the validity of big business. By examining some of Plato's ethical perspectives through the modern business world, the use of ethics can be useful in preventing further acts of business abuse within the higher corporate levels. The role of ethics in the modern business world is to make sure that all get a fair and level playing field in the market. In this manner, no one should be able to 'cheat' when it comes to gaining information, which will help determine one's success or failure. "

From the Paper
"By breaking down local leadership into two prevalent types ? motivational and inspirational leadership ? Dot Baker, writing in Nursing News, provides some cogent guidelines and guide posts for what to do, and what not to do, for future and present nursing leaders. In seeking to motivate their constituents to do the proper thing, some leaders may use extrinsic rewards like money, celebrations, taking someone to lunch as a reward, or even fear and punishment strategies, to elicit desired behaviors. But is that the best way to truly motivate staff? Baker believes that ?manipulate? becomes the accurate word for this particular form of ?motivation.? "

Abstract
This paper examines extensively four direct leadership styles as presented in G. Yukl's "Leadership in Organizations" (2006): Charismatic leadership, ethical leadership, participative leadership and transformational leadership. The author stress that one leadership style does not fit every situation; hence, it is important for an individual, who strives to be an effective leader, to take into account multiple variables such as his or her organizational climate, resources, personal traits and values and the characteristics of the people they will lead. The paper concludes that leaders of professional social workers may find it best to lead by combining the participative and ethical leadership styles especially since this profession maintains a code of ethics that encompass a wide range of ethical decision-making guidelines.

From the Paper
"Transformational leaders are able to convey trust and to take responsibility for their own actions and outcomes--both positive and negative. The President o, for example, must be able to convey trust and take responsibility. Another example was the U.S. government's honesty about their lack of response to Hurricane Katrina. In the year following the hurricane, President Bush made several trips to the area, openly discussing lessons learned on prime time television, and attempting to maintain, gain, or regain the trust of those who were affected by the disaster."

Abstract
This paper argues that organizational ethics is related as much to organizational culture and leadership, or organizational value, as it is to a clear and concise code of ethics. The paper asserts that organizations need to ensure that not only is there a well-documented code of ethics but that all employees, from executive management to the lowest level of employee, are well versed in the document and are well aware of the organization's expectations regarding acceptable and appropriate behavior. The paper goes on to discuss how organizational ethics are maintained through a balanced approach in human resources, through ethical leadership strategies, and though ethical training.

From the Paper
"Organizations need to ensure that not only is there a well documented code of ethics but that all employees, from executive management to the lowest level of employee, are well-versed in the document and are well-aware of the organization's expectations regarding acceptable and appropriate behavior. The precedent established by executive management ensures that employees who might waiver when faced with regulatory loopholes or quandaries that seem to blur the line between what is ethical and what is not, will be able to rely on their organization's support by taking the high-road every time or at least in gaining higher opinion and feedback."

From the Paper
" On a winter day at the end of December of 1890, U.S. Army troops confronted a band of Lakota Sioux near Wounded Knee, South Dakota. Abruptly, shooting broke out. By the time it ended, some 30 soldiers and as many as 300 Lakota were dead, a majority of the latter women and children.
Such was the battle--or massacre--of Wounded Knee, the last significant episode of the nineteenth-century Indian Wars, and the last ghost of an effort by American Indians to assert their independence in a traditional context. For some years thereafter, several thousand Army troops--then a substantial fraction of the U.S. Army--remained stationed near Indian reservations to suppress any potential uprisings. Even in the opening years of the twentieth century, when the Army was called upon to garrison the Philippines in the aftermath of the Spanish.."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that the nature of leadership includes autocracies and dictatorships on one end of the spectrum, and absolute autonomy (or laissez faire) on the other. In-between the polar extremes of servitude through oppression and complete autonomy, several leadership styles have evolved that emphasize different aspects of human motivation and achievement, in different proportions. The writer points out that certain leadership approaches are most appropriate and likely to produce efficient results in some situations and others are more likely to contribute to the success of group enterprise in others. The writer then discusses transactional leadership, transformational leadership, charismatic leadership and servant leadership.
Outline:
Introduction
Transactional Leadership
Transformational Leadership
Charismatic Leadership
Servant Leadership
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Mutual cooperation within human societies is, necessarily, task and goal oriented, because cooperation and shared efforts yield results more productively than exclusive self-responsibility for every need of the individual. Throughout most of human existence - particularly before the Industrial Revolution - the vast majority of human cooperation was motivated primarily by the simple desire of the individual to meet the basic needs of self and family. Living in a group, even under the oppressive wielding of authority, allowed many individuals to achieve more for themselves than would have been possible without reliance on others.
"This observation of human social societies is still just as applicable today, except that the specific role of most individuals is many levels more removed from the most basic needs."
