Today’s leaders impact their organizations and employees by short-term thinking that may be lacking in ethical and sustainable grounding. Ethical leadership is an issue that is growing in importance among those in leadership positions, especially since the ethical scandals of the 1970s followed by corporate scandals in the 1980s, and the S&L scandals of the 1980s and 1990s. The collapse of the dot-com bubble and accounting scandals that included Enron and WorldCom came next and then more recently, the global financial crisis of 2006-2009. Leadership that is ethically grounded and envisions a long-term sustainable focus is necessary in today’s globally focused climate.
