Being an Ethical Leader
Why
Intrinsic value of humans - UN Declaration of Human Rights (as cited in Fiala & MacKinnon, 2024); personal belief system
How
Respect - includes looking at things from others’ perspectives; includes culturally appropriate considerations; uses a reflective learning cycle to observe/interpret/evaluate; considers criteria not readily apparent
Sustainability - mutuality, reciprocity, and the Indigenous concept of “Wahkotoowin” (Wildcat & Voth, 2023) – the idea of mutual flourishing and the interconnectedness of all things
-
Stewardship - connects to the importance of caring for all we have been given in a responsible way to ensure a continuation or legacy
-
Growth - learn and unlearn; deconstruct, reconstruct, and co-construct
-
What
Community - all people, everywhere – as individuals, groups (villages, towns, cities), organizations, businesses, etc.
Creation - the world; accessing the resources and gifts for the betterment of everyone so life may continue to be sustained for all
-
Considerations
Are private and public life consistent? (Fidan & Koc, 2020)
Do they stand up for values and principles? (Finding Humanity, 2020)
Is unethical conduct disciplined? (Brown & Chikeleze, 2020)
Does the leader identify as neutral (negative outcomes associated). (Brown & Chikeleze, 2020)
Are unethical behaviours ignored or tolerated? (Fidan & Koc, 2020)
Is ethical role modeling evident in behaviour? ((Fidan & Koc, 2020)
Use your authority & power of your office when you have to while being compassionate and standing up for values and principles. (Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Finding Humanity, 2020)
If making a group decision or looking for feedback is my group heterogenous? (Degrassi, et al., 2012)
Decision-Making Path (Robinson, 2019)

Apply the Something's Up! Reflective Learning Cycle (Apedaile, 2015)*
