5 PILLARS OF ETHICAL LEADERSHIP
COMMITMENT RELAVENCE
POSITIVE
VALUE
MEANS NOT

INFLUENCE
ETHICAL BUSINESS LEADERSHIP
Starting point for
leaders in business
wanting to get a
grip on ethics.
Leader must show a
wholehearted and
public sharing of
their ethical
position.
Ensure ethical
concerns business
directly or
indirectly. A
Concern is “How
do ethics affect my
business & have
relevance now and
in long term?”
Ensure ethics and
compliance are
integrated into
operational
decision making
i.e. ethics
permeates the
culture and drives
changes in behavior
Leaders must
maximize their
moral or ethical
influence.
The best starting
point is values.
Certain values do
have a universal
appeal
“How we get there"
is just as critical as
“Where do we want
to go“- the GOAL
The implication is
the need to build
relationships.
