Leadership works as an adhesive, which holds any organization together. But the question is-what kind of leadership is required in today's scenario? Who is an ideal leader?
Is it based on a set of moral principles, followed by a clarity of thought and vision and a guiding conscience? Or is it all of these, together with qualities befitting an effective leader?
What are the qualities the people in organizations are looking for in a senior?
These questions form the basis of my study which analyzes whether leadership can be moral based. To ascertain this fact there is always a debate whether good leaders are born or made. Many would argue that once a leader, always a leader! But the above does not hold true in all circumstances. Situations sometimes force good leaders also to take wrong decisions. Humanity tends to overtake a good decision and hence prove a leader wrong. A sound starting point is an understanding about what it means to be human, and what promotes the goodness, of the person.
The study revolves around morality in leadership.
