A1. Ethical Leader and Ethical Traits
Ethical leadership is all about doing what is right when it matters the most. Choosing
one’s personal beliefs and moral compass to make the tough decisions when they count. My
father was an ethical leader and demonstrated ethical traits of promise keeping and family well-
being. Promise keeping is an important trait to embody it leads to integrity and trust. When
people keep their promises, it means you can count on them to do what they say when they say
they will do something and when they say they won’t. Family Well-being is also an important
ethical trait to embody. Putting your family needs before your own, ensuring everyone in the
family can be heard and cared for.
A2. Ethical Conduct
My father had 4 kids and was married to my mother for 35 years, he passed away
December 23,2020. It all started when my father met my mother. The two of them met in
Cleveland Ohio, while in college. Before parents tied the knot my father insisted that my mother
finishes her degree, fore he was able to finish the year before, my father knew that he wanted to
marry my mother but did not want the excitement to hinder her success. Even back then, in the
commencement of my family my father wanted my mother to be the best she could be, even if
that mean holding off marrying the women of his dreams. With the extra push to graduate my
mother did just that and was also able to kick a bad smoking habit as well. Once my mother
graduated college my father kept his promise, my parents got married June 8th, 1985, in
, 2
Cleveland Ohio, in front of a huge congregation. Their marriage was so monumental the mayor
was there. My parents eventually moved to Texas, had their first child by July 17th 1986, and
continued to have children about every 4 years or so after; 1989,1993, and 1997. My father cared
for his family, he was at every basketball game, cheerleading event, joined pto’s and booster
clubs. My father cared for my mother as she was going through several health crisis, including
being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. My father provided a safe environment for his family.
Everyone felt loved and cared for. He took his family on summer vacations and numerous
camping trips. By the time his third child went to college my father was able to keep his promise
and paid for their first two years of college tuition. If anyone needed anything he provided and if
he said he was going to do something he meant it. At his church there was a young man who
admired his vest, my father told him that he would get him one. That next Sunday he gave the
vest to the young man. These are only just a few examples of how James exhibited the ethical
traits of family well-being and promise keeping.
B. Consequentialist Theory
Ethical dilemmas are apart of life, they require a person to choose between two or more
right choices. Every individual is different and has a different way of deciphering information
and making a choice. There are two approaches to dilemmas that will be highlighted here:
Deontological and Consequentialist. Deontological approach suggests basing the choice on what
is morally right from the perspective of the individual. The deontological approach will yield a
person to choose the right answers that aligns with their personal values and ethics such as
fairness, safety, justice or responsibility; could be anything the individual feel is right. The
consequentialist approach will evaluate the dilemma systematically, examining how it would
affect everyone involved. Once they have evaluated and weighted all the good and bad that will
