Reflection2Reflection on Qantas Airline OrganizationRegarding ethics, social, and environmental sustainability, I will analyze the manner in whichQantas instills a sense of equality and sustainability among its workers (Management, 2017). Ithas come to my attention that most workers in Qantas are protesting against poor pay andinsecurity towards their jobs. It gets difficult to fathom how the management of Qantas viewemployees when its executive salaries sky-rocket. It is thus evident that equality and employeemorale is low. Qantas lack ethical leadership. It is the duty of ethical leaders to ensure thatworkers are morally uplifted. There are many ways that Qantas can use to ensure that its workersare morally uplifted. Such methods include appreciation and better payment (Management,2017). Moral leaders also help workers understand how to best manage themselves. Havingnoted that a lot of employee unrests are conducted in Qantas due to poor payment of employeesand reduced levels of morale, I would recommend that the organization find ways through whichit can: 1.Regulate the egos, temper, and differences in its workforce to ensure that nobility isrestored. 2.Ensure that its leaders are visionary and possess a large amount of influence on theemployees so as to influence personal change. 3.Instill a sense of emotional intelligence in the employees through their leaders. That isone of the brilliant ways through which the organization can overcome managementhuddles. Qantas needs to understand that behind moral as a term is the meaning whichdictates what is right and wrong.
Reflection3From my point of view, it is clear that the ability to distinguish the right from wrong isconsidered elusive by Qantas. Such is true considering how the organization manages its issuesto do with competing needs. It is quite elaborate in case of Qantas that employees do not feelvalued by the organization. In such a case, trust for the leaders is reduced and workers don’tunderstand the direction of programs allocated for them (Price, 2011). Leadership should beabout being effective and setting good examples. For further recommendations, I would wish to use the case of Captain Planet and the Planeteersto draw vivid conclusions and lessons that Qantas Organization needs to learn from. Some ofthe lessons include:1.Unity leads to rich diversityThe actual animation of captain planet combined a number of Planeteers. These individuals werering bearers of the five elemental rings. The storyline clearly shows that the five Planeteers werechosen on the basis of their first encounters with natural issues. It is, therefore clear that adynamic team is composed of individuals who are not mirror images of themselves. A teamalways brings together individuals with different experiences, skills, and knowledge therebyincreasing the chances of problem solving. A group also ensures that members can learn a lotfrom each other’s experiences and also accept who they are (Kader, 2017). 2.The collaborative powerCollaboration is very important as a tool. Individualism only leads to retarded growth. Forinstance, when the Planeteers worked alone, they got things done slowly with their ownelements. However, whenever they couldn’t get things resolved on their own, they summonedCaptain Planet by combining forces. Such instances teach us that teamwork is more solid
Reflection4compared to working individually. We can deduce that from the saying, “to go fast, go alone; butto go far, go together.” By coming together as a team to fight towards the same course, achallenge that looks huge or risky is more bearable (Kaplan, 2017). 3.Building connections that are deepThe Planeteers had a sense of understanding and mutual respect towards each other. They treatedeach other as brothers. This mutual relationship and respect is fundamental. Such is due to thefact that the foundation of a team that is unshakeable is trust built in one another. It is the trustand the respect that glues every member of the group towards the common goal. Everythingstarts with trust, then respect. 4.Guarding the heartsIt is crucial to understand individuals do have differences. However, we are all the same in ourhearts. In case the heart didn’t exist, all the other elements of earth, wind, fire, and water couldbe used for evil. The existence of earth instills the sense of care, empathy, and compassionhuman beings. With such, humans would be in a position to care for the Earth. In as much asopposite may be true, having the most sincere heart and purest intention can always establishconnections between people through their hearts (McArthur, 2010). Reflection on Rewarding ValuesThere are many rewarding values in relation to organizational success. However, I have realizedthat moral leadership is distinct and vital in relation to corporate governance. Organizations withmoral leaders operate with a lot of ease. Moral leaders serve other. They also develop the abilityto improve skills of leadership and self-esteem of workers subjected to them. Another rewarding
