“To be an effective leader, a public official must maintain the highest ethical and moral standards”
---------正文---------
Should a public official maintain the highest ethical and moral standards, if they want to be an effective leader? I generally agree that the public officials should keep certain ethical and moral disciplines that a official who hold the puissance citizens give them even a human who must obey, regardless whether he/she want to be a effective leader. However, to some extent, the public official need not maintain the highest ethical and moral standards, even though sometimes citizens expect.
How to define whether a leader is effective or not? And is it necessary that the public officials who maintain the highest ethical and moral standards surly will be an effective leader? Then the public official who wants to be effective must have the highest moral standards?
In fact, the answer is that they may not be required and reach so harsh demand. The primary works a public official should do are doing the work which is in the area of his/her occupation, protecting the rights of citizens, the democratic system and atmosphere, propelling the development of society and the world, at the same time, does not abuse of the power he/she hold. The public official had better not be a specimen of morality whose position could be took place of priest, spirit public or books. Citizens need a useful administrator who is fed by their tax, but not a person do things they could do themselves or have others to do.
The person who can keep the highest ethical standards may not be a effective public official, because the morality dose not equal the capacity of lead and administration. If we request all of the leaders to reach the highest ethical standards, our world will be full of repentance, so that nobody will pay attention on working; researching and other meaningful things and the mess society will abduct into a misleading way of no development of economy, science, art, humanity, emotion and the enhancement of average of people's life.
The leader could maintain higher ethical standard is a good thing, but if he/she do not break the basically ethic and morality disciplines, or even he/she break it but dose not influent the efficiency of his/her administration. For instance, Gandhi and Abraham Lincoln are worthy of praising about their high moral standards, albeit people still think Bill Clinton who had tangled in the sexual scandal were a good president.
Moreover, in the political realm, even in the business and societal realms, if a public official want to take a place in the realm then promote to a higher position, he/she have to know some unrightfully methods such as lying, tricking and disguise facts to reach his/her aims. Although it hears very ruthless, but it just the fact we must face as book The Hardball wrote.
Another thing we should realize is that in different countries and different culture, people will have different standards that request what degree of ethical and moral standards the public officials should maintain. For example, the sexual scandal of Bill Clinton can not be beard in America, but the Europeans such as romantic French think the love even sexual action outside marriage is not immoral and may not have bad effect on the efficiency of the leader’s administration. And in Arabic areas, the leader who has several wives surly does not be rebuked because his action is lawful and confirm to their culture. Nevertheless, a person no matter whether he/she is leader, he/she will be in prison if he/she has more than one spouse.
To sum up, the pubic official should maintain basically ethical and moral standards no matter whether he/she wants to be an effective leader.
