When asked about what qualities constitute an effective business leader, different people may give different opinions. Initiative, vision, resolution, and courage can all be considered characters essential for a good leader. However, whether business leaders should maintain the highest ethical standards has always been a controversial issue. While I agree that business leaders should keep a proper ethical level, I believe that maintaining the highest ethical standards is not a prerequisite for successful leadership.

First of all, there is technically no uniform standard of ethics for the business leader to follow. In fact, usually leaders are willing to sustain an ethical image in order to win trust of employees and to establish reputation for the company. Unfortunately, ethical standard is such an intricate issue that it seems too hard to find a consistent and widely received one. In a vegetarian's view, eating animal meat is unethical; in the eyes of a Chinese customer, living separately from one's parents can also be ethical. Does that mean that a business leader should abstain from eating meat and move into his or her parents' house so that he or she can conform to the highest standards? Since an ocean of cultural perspectives exist in this highly diversified world, just paying attention to these requirements can seriously distract a leader from real work, not to mention practicing them.  

Meanwhile, even a business leader fails to keep to the highest moral standards, whether in personal life or at work, he or she can still be a good leader who provides exhilarating reports for shareholders, satisfactory paychecks for employees, as well as high-quality products for customers. Just as Clinton’s love affair with White House intern lady does not eliminate this political leader’s credit for supplying Corporate America with favorable policies for a long term economic prosperity, so violations of certain moral standards in personal life may not prevent a business leader from making effective business decisions. Generally speaking, one’s private life rarely interferes with work. While in business, leaders sometimes even have to consciously act against the highest ethical standards in order to benefit the company. For example,

Admittedly, however, companies that maintain a high standard of ethic values and perform ethically can find it advantagerous to do so. By being responsible for the good of their customers, actively participating in the comunity, and making generous donations to those in need, companies can establish a good image in the society and therefore attact loyal customers. Nevertheless, keeping an appropriate level of ethics is far different from maintaining the highest standards. Anyway, stockholders would find it a nightmare to have employed a manager who tell them to share all compn
