A leader is anyone who does the right things and guides people, in society or an organization. He or she should demonstrate by an example, the effectiveness of leadership and to hold the ability to persuade others. Leaders with moral leadership portray the ability in making decisions that do reflect and respect the rights and dignity of people in a society. A leader should have integrity so that the followers can earn trust and have confidence in them because people may not feel assured while following that leader in his or her own way of leadership. The factors that display how good, one is as a leader is the values, beliefs, character and their ethics.
Leaders are regularly considered to have authority or the power over others in that they can control others and be better than the rest. A kind
...of a leader who is self- serving tends to be disastrous since he / she thinks of his / her own benefits. As is self-interested leader may not be effective since the society does things they do because of the inspirations from their leaders, meaning they may not be able to develop other people to become better.
Leaders should respect their followers in order to achieve good leadership. Also, the followers should respect them back too because respect is given and take. This will create a positive working environment for both leaders and their supporters by respecting and trusting each other. If the leaders will not respect their followers, they will not be there to follow them since inspiration of good leadership is not there. In decision making, leaders also need to include their followers, thus
they will feel really connected in the process and achieve development goals. Leaders need to feel proud of what they have done to the society. They should portray a sense of humility, to achieve better things to everybody.
Moral leadership is different because leaders in it aim in serving instead of being followed. They try developing others in a positive without showing off their own skills. Moral leaders are those who have a deep sense of ethics in them and do believe in justice. They are usually motivated by making things better for others and not just themselves. Ethical leadership is vital and should be used as a tool in decision-making in many areas of the society. Decisions which are arrived at should not only benefit leaders alone but also think how that decision affects other people.
As a great leader ought to know what they have as values and ethics and show them in real actions they take. This consists of the way to communicate with each other in the society. Leaders should share their values to their supporters so as to know what is expected of them by their leaders. In order to achieve developments in the society, leaders should be ready to learn from others and share new ideas with the followers to achieve the common goals they have set.
In conclusion, morality is very vital for every leader to have because they need to respect others for them to win the trust of their followers who in return follows the leaders. Leaders also need good ethics and moral values to allow them to guide their followers in a correct manner.
