W3 Assignment “Unethical Versus Ethical
Leadership”
Unethical Versus Ethical
Leadership
It takes courage to lead
an organization with ethics.
For instance, Leaders at
AIG argued that they were obligated to pay bonuses to executives even after the
company was bailed out by the U.S. Government. They stated that
they had a contractual obligation to pay these bonuses. Many people
argued that the Leaders at AIG acted unethically when paying those bonuses.
Others said they were
justified in doing so.
Write a 2 page paper. In your paper address the
following:
- How does a leader find the courage to step through fear
and confusion to act ethically despite the risks involved? - Give an example of a situation in business where you
observed a leader acting unethically/ethically. - Knowing what you know now how would you have counseled
them? - Conclude your paper by describing how you will prepare
yourself to lead ethically.
Include a title page and 3-5 references. Only one
reference may be from the internet (note Wikipedia). The other reference
must be from the Grantham University Online Library. Please adhere to the
