pages long excluding the cover and reference pages. Use a minimum of three sources

for your paper. Please include your MBTI type found in

the ethics theories (theories listed according to type under the mandala) most applicable

culture.html) and briefly explain how your leadership/ethics approach may alter in that

venue.
