谦行天下UID: 2797557

Leaders’ shoulders burden much more responsibilities than common citizens, thus maintaining the highest ethical and moral standards is fairness when using their power. While their aim is to serve people, their people require them having the highest ethical and moral standards. Although public officials are the representation of their groups and represent the ethical and moral standards, leaders are not the principle source of moral guidance.

To begin with, maintaining the highest ethical and moral standards means fairness. To make this point clear, an analysis of ethics is necessary. Ethics requires a person or organization to choose between alternatives that must be evaluated as right (ethical) or wrong (unethical). A public official face not one or two men but a group of people, in another words, he or she is in charge of the interests of a group of people. His or her ethical standards are reflected in the progress using his/her power and they could face much more than common citizens, like bribery, intimidation, pressure of voting and so on. Leaders should require themselves using the highest ethical and moral standards to be fairness.

On the other hand, leaders’ people expect leaders to behave according to the highest ethical and moral standards. When leaders fail to do so, they will lose respect among their people. Scandals in a politician's personal life can undercut public confidence in him seriously. For instance, Bill Clinton, former president of the United States, sex scandal in the infamous case of lying and narrowly escaped impeachment. Watergate Scandal led to the resignation of President Nixon. Despite the fact that during Clinton’s political period, American economy had seen a great roar and the unemployment rate was always at a low level, bad comments and impression on Clinton spread throughout the world.



After all, leaders guide the ethical and moral standards, but are not the principle source of moral guidance. The most significant source of such influences is the laws and customs of society. Laws punish those unethical people, while customs praise good deeds and despise sins. Customs promote people’s virtue, beauty, and love. The whole society is driven by a trend which is not simply influenced by a single leader. No one will imitate Nixon’s Watergate to round up vote. Laws and customs are powerful.

In conclusion, an effective leader need require himself/herself to reach the highest standards of ethical and moral, while his/her people expect them to do so. However, leaders could not be the main guidance, but laws and customs could lead the public attitude towards what ethics deal with.

At this materialistic age, the ethic and moral standards have become the scale of our behavior in every human being's heart. For public officials, people always require them under the highest ethical and moral standards.

Public officials are the personnel who carry out the public duty by the government under the laws. Their responsibility is not only for the government, but for the benefit of the people as well; they are always the leaders in some fields: the police, the congress, etc. Just like public figures, one little mistake in the officials’ work might push them to the top of the public waves, which requires the well-organized self-control. As a result of that, the ethic and the morality of their soul establish themselves as a good tonic补药 for the public officials to remind them of the responsibility on the shoulders.
Good point. 领导肩负责任！
Noble and high ethical and moral standards are the most crucial point in the action of the public officials trying to be effective leaders. Ethic and morality mean the ability to distinguish between right and wrong, and with this prerequisite, one’s other ability and quality, such as leadership, capability, charisma, etc, could be judged in an appropriate way. The notorious scandal between the former president of the U.S. Bill Clinton and his secretary Monica Lewinsky once made his reputation into the deep abyss, and the people do not believe in him. But after his sincere apology and the real action of his penitence后悔, he got the trust from the public again. That is the ethic, the ability to make out right and wrong, that made people accept this outstanding president again because people saw a regretful president, considered he hadn’t lost the moral standard and knew the fact that no one was perfect. Only after getting the trust from the public, the leader’s work could be more effective.（Restate you point in another way.）
克林顿的例子生动，措辞非常流畅，也颇为地道。

High ethical and moral standards can also help keep the steady of the society. The officials represent the government. If they first act immorally, the people may blame them first; and then tend to question the government about the policy.
You need to add more things to this paragraph.
You can talk 领导为民众的教导而举办的活动。精神领导。
The public use the highest ethical and moral standards to restrict themselves, which is the best way to control their behavior. The higher the ethic is, the more effective the leader’s work will be.

Along with corruption, bribery and some problems in private life, leaders' ethical and moral standards are more concerned about by public than before. But it is unfair to judge a leader only by his/her ethical and moral standards.

First, most of the time, a upper ethical and moral standard is conductive for a leader to get a higher support rate. For instance, President Clinton is an effective leader in his first term. Under the leadership of Clinton, the economy the U.S. boomed. What's more, during this period, the U.S. consolidated its status of the world's first power. It is needless to say he was an effective leader. But after the sex scandal exposure in his second term, his support rate slumped and he lost people's trust. In that time, there were so many oppositions that most of his decisions were not effectively implemented even though it is a wise decision. The sex scandal or to say his not maintaining his ethical and moral standard led him in the unfavorable position. And also Adolf Hitler's brutal nature leads his failure. Therefore it takes an important part for leaders to have an upper ethical and moral standard.

However, sometimes an effective leader may with a lower ethical and moral standard. Joseph Stalin, a leader of Soviet Union which he ruled as a dictator, made the Soviet Union a military power which against the U.S. in the Cold War. Before Stalin's becoming the chairman of the Comintern and the Communist Party, the Soviet Union was a country with a vast territory but seldom resources. In that time, most people of the Soviet Union were fighting against the hunger. He saved his people from the mire. But dead souls in his hand are so many that could even form a great army. It’s unfair to conclude him an ineffective leader just for his brutality. What he had done for his country and party are commendable. So an upper ethical and moral standard isn’t necessary for effective leaders.

To judge a leader, the charisma is important and also the leadership is, sometimes even more. As a leader of country or other government branch, sometimes for your group’s interest you must do that against to your moral standard especially in politic field. For example, in the Cold War Roosevelt and Stalin must send their spies to each other’s country to collect intelligence. If you do not do so, you got your country in a disadvantaged position even braved the danger of annexation by the other. In this situation, you must choose one between the ethical standard and the interest of your group. In my opinion, an effective leader should choose the interest than the ethical standard.

In sum, it is difficult to judge a leader is effective or not. Many characteristics should be concerned. For an effective leader the ethical and moral standard is just one among the characteristics. No one is perfect. In addition, a leader with the highest ethical and moral standard is almost impossible. We should tolerate the leader have some blemishes.
