Leaders=Ethics

It does really matter if a leader is ethical or not. Being ethical show what type of leader and person you are. If you are an unethical leader then you are an unethical person. You can't be an ethical leader and be an unethical person. It just doesn't work like that. If other group members see that the leader is unethical they will want to leave the group. The biggest scandal right now is the Tiger Woods scandal. He was a leader to all minorities who wanted to go for their dream. After what was revealed, his carree went down the drain. He now refred to as a scumbag and how he doesn't deserve a second chance. So from that one unthical move, it ruined his carree and lost all his fans. He was a leader and now he is nothing. Another person who made an ethical choice for the better was Maggie Brooks. She had a dilemma whether or not to go to the police and report the Robutrad scandal or just keep it internally and deal with it amongst themselves. She decided to go to the police and charge them with criminal offenses. After the Robutrad scandal, people took new poll of Maggie Brooks' ethical rating and it is higher then it has been in years due to the way she handled the scandal. This is why being ethical is so important in being a leader. The moment someone does something unethical they lose all trust and whent ehy do something extremly ethical they gain a ton of trust. being ethical is one of the most important quality in being a leader.
