LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT
Assessment 1
Part A
1. Ethical behaviours possessed by a leader to act as a positive role model
The ethical behaviors that the leader should demonstrate included the fairness and
transparency of work for promoting a good working culture and working condition to make the
employees perform to their potential. The leader must establish a sense of honesty and focus on
the development of teams by taking effective decisions at the right time. The leader must also
encourage various initiatives and guide the employees in the right direction by making them
understand about the vision and organizational strategies that are needed to be followed for
deriving good outcomes in business1. The ethical behaviours promoted by the leader must be
consistent with the moral standards and he must be able to take responsibility for the actions
performed by the employees. It is important for the leader to treat everyone with respect and
maintain the organizational values and beliefs to establish a good culture and implement
decisions that are fair and are based on facts rather than opinions. The leader must consider the
opinions and responses of the employees prior to taking any decision2.
