Abstract

As it is widely known presently, a great number of top executives or organization leaders are involved in unethical activities. The activities have great impact on the lives and fate of subordinates as well as the nation. Thus it is essential to examine conceptions of ethical leadership. Due to some restraints, the writer focuses on some aspects of ethical leadership notably the code of ethics of ethical leaders, models for making ethical decisions, some theories of ethical leadership, criteria used for evaluating ethical leadership, values of ethical leaders, and ways to promote ethical practices in organizations.

The writer has high hope that this article would be of great use to all readers particularly executives and leaders of public and private organizations.
