Management is: Getting work done through the efforts of other people (Mullins, 2016)
Leadership is: The process of influencing others to understand and agree about what needs to be done and how to do it (Yukl, 2010:26)
Management and Leadership - our working definitions
Or to put it another way…….
Leadership is: The art of getting people to do what you want them to do, in the way you want it done, because they want to do it” (General Eisenhower, Military Leader & US President 1953-61)
Master your emotions
The past: what holds you back?
The future: what new behaviours do you need?
Real Leadership starts with You: No days unalert!
“The behaviours that got you here will not be the behaviours you need to succeed here”.
Realism

What is Ethical Leadership? Defining it…..
Relates to
being “good and bad, or right and wrong”. Its about understanding what makes some things good and others bad. Mullins (2016)
The demonstration of normatively appropriate conduct based on the identification of a set of values & beliefs
Rubin et al (2010: 216-17)
Consistency between espoused and actual behaviors consistent with a set of justifiable moral principles
Yukl (2010)
Normative ie ‘standard’ behaviour expected of a leader through personal actions & interpersonal relationships observable in their own work & when working with others & the promotion of such conduct to followers through two-way communication, reinforcement & decision-making. Role modeling these behaviours consistently.
Integrity
Ethics – 2 principle theories
http://www.bbc.co.uk/ethics/introduction/
Kant: the only intrinsically “good” thing is a good will ie actions which uphold moral law
Bentham/Mills: greatest good for the greatest number
Deontological (Rules)
Emphasizes DUTY ie what must done or not done irrespective of the results
Goodness or badness is evident in the action itself
Teleological (Consequentialist)
The means can be justified by the end result
A ‘bad’ act can have ‘good’ results - goodness or badness is only evident in the results
concerned with what people do, not with the consequences of their actions
The more good consequences an act produces, the better or more right that act
Ethics – 2 principle theories
http://www.bbc.co.uk/ethics/introduction/
Kantianism is a deontological approach to ethics e.g. to be considered moral it is essential to adhere to rules or duties. Kant believed consequences have no role when judging a person’s action to be right or wrong
Bentham, Mills, Machiavelli and other philosophers subscribe to the teleological approach to ethics e.g. acting morally is determined by whether the consequences of an act are good or bad. If good, the act is right, if bad the act is wrong.
Enron: an abuse of deontological principles
Enron collapses Andrew Fastow Jeffrey Skilling hid behind accounting rules

Daimler Chrysler: good intentions led to catastrophic consequences
1998 Merger valued at $38billion:
Hailed by Daimler CEO & merger architect, Jurgen Schrempp as “a merger of equals…yet Daimler executives behaved as the “buyer” causing huge resentment in the American Chrysler firm.
Schrempp resigned in 2005
Daimler sold Chrysler in May 2007 for US$6 billion
Values carry an individual’s ideas as to what is right, good or desirable and influene behaviour, perception and motivation.
Vision: the ability to frame one’s actions in the service of others
Voice: process of articulating the vision with authenticity to motivate action in others
Virtue: understanding that we become what we practice

What happens when there is a loss of Values and Consequent Behaviours
Libor – (London InterBank Offer Rate) systemic financial corruption….. “this goes far beyond any corruption we’ve had….”

Goldman – Cheating their own clients http://www.corpwatch.org/article.php?id=15857
Madoff– 150 years for Ponzi scheme…“didn’t want to look like a failure”

Loss of Values and Consequent Behaviours
2001:Ehime Maru disaster:
USS Greenville, Commanded by Scott Waddle sinks Japanese civilian fishing boat off the coast of Oahu
Loss of 9 lives
4 submariners knew the sub was directly under the boat but were too afraid to embarrass the Commander
Ethical Behaviour
If you don’t have the character to do the right thing then knowing how to do the right thing is irrelevant
Why understanding your values and ethical behaviour is important: Stanley Milgram’s Obedience to Authority
Knowing your own values is key to knowing how you will behave when under peer pressure and business pressure
Replication of Stanley Milgram's Obedience to Authority
65% inflicted 450 volts
Comparable global results
Why would so many subjects obey?
Social learning theory & peer pressure
Peer pressure impacts behavioural response due to the social need to “conform”. Consider and be ready to discuss how peer pressure can affect commands from legitimate authority
Milgram & Solomon Asch: Peer Pressure
Solomon Asch Conformity Experiment - video
Other famous Social Science experiments examining behaviour and peer pressure:
1967: How Ron Jones & Cubberley High School, Palo Alto recreated Nazi Germany
1971: The Lucifer effect. Philip Zimbardo, Stanford University Prison Guards
