Social science assignment- Ethical leadership

Leaders are always expected to demonstrate ethical behavior, and sometimes issues arise in which ethical leadership is needed. As a student of leadership and organizational change, it is important to think about how and why ethical issues occur and how they might be addressed when they occur. Each organization may have its own set of procedures for addressing these issues, and there are likely to be consequences for those involved. The role of accountability is also significant. When ethical breaches occur, people want to know who will take responsibility and who will be responsible for preventing future ethical issues.
