Why Business Needs More Ethical Role Models
Ethical leaders, in formal leadership roles, tend to promote ethical behaviour through policy, decision-making, and organisational culture. Ethical standards are established to ensure accountability, fostering environments where ethical conduct is valued and followed by all stakeholders. Senior leadership bears the responsibility of setting the ethical tone within the organisation. As Dr. Reuel Khoza aptly states, “leaders must recognise that they are mirrors in which their followers see themselves, and they must strive to be reflection-worthy” (Attuned Leadership: African Humanism as Compass).
