提纲: 观点 成为一个杰出的领袖不需要恪守最高标准的道德伦理准则
分论点1 道德准范对领袖起到一定的积极作用但不是必要条件
分论点2 与道德相比,一个领袖的其他品质更值得我们关注
分论点3 过分强调高规格的道德基调反而会阻碍领袖的发展
It is just an illusion or a sound expectation to the public that all the effective leaders should maintain the highest moral and ethical standards. In my view, if a public official want to become an effective leader, s/he should keep an relative higher moral standards rather than the highest that should be maintained by moralists and educators.
Admittedly, excellent ethical and moral qualities are important to an effective leader. The chief function of morality is to direct and regulate the relationship between persons and persons, persons and groups, which is similar to the leader's responsibility that to maintain a good relationship between his subordinates and direct them to maximize the interest of his nation, district or company. Keeping good ethical and moral standards is benefit for the leaders to make correct decision, but there is not exist a casual relationship between morality and leadership or an extreme moral require for one who want to be effective leader.
A perfect ethical and moral manner, to some extent, is important to the public leader, which could help them to achieve a wonderful performance to the masses, and help them to maintain their position as a leader. However, the importance of ethical and moral standards has been less emphasized, compared with the leader's capability, ambition, interrelationship with subordinates, under the highly developed and transparent media. An appropriate example is not too far to seek. Silvio Berlusconi, the current longest-severing prime minister of Italy, as well as the leader of the people of political freedom movement party, is an successful public leader, however, he suffered from accusations of extramarital affairs, bribing his private tax consultant, holding naked party and secretly protecting gangster during the administration, which constitute a vivid contrast between an effective leader and a lower level of ethical and moral standards. And in some other cases, a sound ethical and moral manner is just a gimmick for the election or re-election, there is no politician wanting his ethical scandal or moral flaws are exhibited by the opponents.
Also, the strictest require, which related to the highest ethical and moral standards, is harmful to an effective leader let alone maintain it. An effective leader, no matter in what fields, need a relative free platform for them to cast their talent rather than limit them in the circle of the strict require of morality. Berlusconi, under a relative freedom of moral and ethical limit, promotes the prosperity and international status of Italy, there is also a similar situation as president Clinton, who contribute to the economy revive of America and be accused at a series of extramarital affairs. In addition, the highest ethical and moral standards state is also somewhat idealism which is nearly impossible to achieve. Just as the saying goes: no gold is pure and no man is perfect.
In the final analysis, comparing with maintaining the highest standards of morality, it is more realistic to keep a relative higher standards which could also achieve the same effect. Furthermore it would be more effective for a public official, who wants to grow up as a leader, to improve their own aptitude related to be an outstanding leader, such as operational capability, interrelationship with various persons and groups and the charisma, rather than boast their higher standards of moral qualities.
