1. What is ethical leadership and how it affects the culture of the organization.

Ethical leadership is a leadership style in which individuals exhibit behavior that is reasonable and necessary in every aspect of their lives, for the general welfare. It has three main elements: Be the Example. Lead by example is a noble quality of a leader. The nurturing leadership aspect can also elevate the culture and values of an organization and its workers to greater levels of ethical behavior (THORNTON, 2016). It cultivates a high level of integrity by demonstrating ethical leadership that encourages a sense of trust and promotes subordinates to understand and follow the company’s vision.

2. Various dimensions of ethical leadership.

The recurring themes are honesty, faith, truthfulness, bravery, and empathy. The two most widely cited examples of human ethics are honesty and dependability. A good manager has intellectual honesty and is trustworthy (THORNTON, 2016).

3. Some shortcomings in ethical leadership and potential ways to fix leadership problems.

Failures in ethical leadership can be caused by various types of issues that can get worse. It involves specific things done or not done by People, and things done and not done by companies to be a great example and encourage ethical thinking and behavior (THORNTON, 2016). Majority of problems are sparked by people and the rest might be embedded in the culture of a companies.

There can be numerous reasons and all of them are connected to each other so if anything is wrong, we cannot decide which is the main reason for the failure. These include individual causes where individuals disregard limits (denying codes of ethics and corporate principles that discourage action) and the inability of using self-control ("I will just do that even though it is not permitted."). Organizational reasons entail lack of clarity ("What is ethical about here?"), No ethical principles of leadership and conduct ("There are no guidelines on this.") and the over-simplified laws ("Just do the proper thing.") (THORNTON, 2016).

To fix the problem, our leader's goal should be to avoid the issues that lead to ethical leadership failure. To do this, they need to talk about the complexities that cause ethical concerns in our institutions as well as how to keep them from taking place (THORNTON, 2016).
