The Practice of Ethical Leadership

Ann Skeet, senior director of Leadership Ethics, has developed a leadership model that encourages users to think of their leadership as a practice. The model is useful for those who are looking to enhance ethics in an organization. It is available for free as both an infographic and in this video.
The model shows that leadership happens on a continuum from the personal to the formal, and elements combine to render the impact a leader can have. The cornerstone of the model is personal-“being” by living one’s character and values. People in leadership positions further their influence by how they model their character and values to others, moving from “being” to “doing.” In addition to modeling character and values, leaders can also reinforce ethics in their organizations by creating community, encouraging ethical conduct, playing their position, clarifying culture, and designing systems that reinforce the use of ethics in decision-making.
