Research “Ethical vs. Unethical Leadership,” and write a paper on the topic. Powerful leaders can have a substantial impact on the lives of followers and the fate of an organization. According to many theorists, the primary issue is not whether leaders will use power, but whether they will use it ethically or unethically.

Discuss traits and values of ethical leadership. Also discuss consequences of unethical leadership. Select two leaders for this paper. Discuss the ethical behavior of your selected leader and the impact on employees/followers. Also discuss the unethical behavior of your other selected leader and the abusive use of power and authority on employees/followers. Conclude with a summary on how these leadership dimensions are important to your career and your own leadership development.

Your paper should begin with an explanation of the traits. Next you should select an individual that meets each assigned trait, and then give a historical overview of the individuals.
