Does a public official need to maintain the highest ethical an moral standards in order ot become an effective leader, as the speaker claims? I concede that high ethical and moral standards are desirable for an effective leader, on balance, however, I hold the point of view that merely high ethical and moral standards do not necessarily make a good leader, as I state below.

To begin with, for some leaders in certain areas such as social domain, it is actively proposed, if not necessary for a leader to maintain the highest ethical and moral standards. To support the argument, one need only to refer to some figures in the last century, such as Martin Luther King Jr. in America, Gandhi in Indian and Mandela in South Africa as well. No one could possibly deny the factor that all of them were effective leaders in their lifetime or their term of leadership, and that they all equipped with high ethical and moral standards which promote them to fight for the broad benefit for their brothers and sisters of their beloved countries and not their own social and economic benefits an human beings. It is the faith of fulfilling the wish of a country of liberty, equity and justice that makes them effective leaders. Were they not having the highest ethical and moral standards, the situations in America, Indian and South Africa should not change for the better one as they are today.

However, when it come to other areas such as political domain, although high ethical and moral standards are also appreciated, they are not necessary enough to ensure an effective leader. There are more elements that attribute to an effective leader, such as high insight and preeminent ability. For instance, most people regard Bill Clinton as an effective leader, regarding the economic improvement during his terms and the fact that America has restored to the status of economic engine in the world. Besides, turning next to the example of Nixon, before the Watergate scandal was revealed, he was considered a preeminent leader by the mass of people as well. In fact, only equipped with the highest ethical and moral standards lead no support to the conclusion of becoming an good, effective leader as the speaker maintains. What is most, even not being cultivated to maintain the highest ethical standards can also enable a public figure to be an effective one. To look for support for this argument, one needs look no further than Hitler who were largely responsible for the damage of the Second World War. Although what he did is surely not desirable, one cannot deny the fact that he was so "effective" to the extent that he did great harm to almost half of the whole world.

Moreover, when it comes to the realm of technology and innovation, aside from high insight and ability to lead, the leaders are also supposed to have the ability to innovate and to know the effectiveness to communicate with the subordinations. For instance, with highly acute insight, Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard University to set up his own business which is known as Microsoft Corporation today. Had he not been equipped the ability to innovate, then we might not have the DOS and Windows systems which are now crucial to the operation of our huge amount of computers today. As for the ability to get along with other coworkers or employees, one can easily get a clear view of the position insofar as one understand that most of the achievements are accomplished not only by the leader but also by the coworkers and employees who are willing to cooperate and work hard.

In the final analysis, I agree with the speaker insofar as it is desirable for a public official who is to be a leader to maintain the highest ethical and moral standards. However, high standard moral and ethics do not make it possible to be an effective leader. Moreover, to be an effective leader one needs also other abilities and qualities.

public official 的定义有点模糊的。不过我查了一下，是especially as one who acts in a subordinate capacity for an institution such as a corporation or governmental agency，所以貌似社会领域的应该不算，呵呵，欢迎一起讨论

I concede that high ethical and moral standards are desirable for an effective leader, 后面可以另起一句on balance, however, I hold the point of view that merely high ethical and moral standards do not necessarily make a good leader, as I state below.我觉得这样叙述题目，然后提问，说自己不同意，虽然是很方便的开头方法，但毕竟不是最好的，呵呵，我也在探索

To begin with, for some leaders in certain areas such as social domain, it is actively这个词可以换的 proposed, if not necessary for a leader to maintain the highest ethical and moral standards. To support the argument, one need only to refer to some figures in the last century, such as Martin Luther King Jr. in America, Gandhi in Indian and Mandela in South Africa as well. No one could possibly deny the factorfact that all of them were effective leaders in their lifetime or their term of leadership, and that they all equipped with high ethical and moral standards which promote them to fight for the broad benefit for their brothers and sisters of their beloved countries andwhile not their own social and economic benefits an human beings. 感觉这一句可以分成两句，不过还是比较通顺的It is the faith of fulfilling the wish of a country of liberty, equity and justice that makes them effective leaders. Were they not having the highest ethical and moral standards, the situations in America, Indian and South Africa should not change for the better one as they are today.呵呵，这段不错，扣住了effective，我有时间改一下

There are more elements that attribute to an effective leader, such as high insight and preeminent ability. For instance, most people regard Bill Clinton as an effective leader, regarding the economic improvement during his terms and the fact that America has restored to the status of economic engine in the world. 这里可能提一下绯闻可能会突出ethical standards 不是最重要的Besides, turning next to the example of Nixon, before the Watergate scandal was revealed, he was considered a preeminent leader by the mass of people as well. In fact, only equipped with the highest ethical and moral standards lead no support to the conclusion of becoming an good, effective leader as the speaker maintains.不错，扣题很紧 What is most, even not being cultivated to maintain the highest ethical standards can also enable a public figure to be an effective one. To look for support for this argument, one needs look no further than Hitler who were largely responsible for the damage of the Second World War. Although what he did is surely not desirable, one cannot deny the fact that he was so "effective" to the extent that he did great harm to almost half of the whole world.后面这个例子不是很合适，可以把克林顿的例子放过来

Moreover, when it comes to the realm of technology and innovation, aside from high这个词可以换 insight and ability to lead, the leaders are also supposed to have the ability to innovate and to know the effectiveness to communicate with the subordinations. For instance, with highly acute insight, Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard University to set up his own business which is known as Microsoft Corporation today.

As for the ability to get along with other coworkers or employees, one can easily get a clear view of the position insofar as one understand that most of the achievements are accomplished not only by the leader but also by the coworkers and employees who are willing to cooperate and work hard.这里可以说得更加清楚一点，这一段总体来说还是说得很清楚的

In the final analysis, I agree with the speaker insofar as it is desirable for a public official who is to be a leader to maintain the highest ethical and moral standards. However, high standard moral and ethics do not make it possible to be an effective leader. Moreover, to be an effective leader one needs also other abilities and qualities.稍稍有一点罗嗦
总体来说还是说得很清楚的，条理很清楚，题目也扣的很紧，恩，不错~

TOPIC: ISSUE43 - "To be an effective leader, a public official must maintain the highest ethical and moral standards."
提纲：分领域讨论，高标准的道德虽然重要，但不是一个好的领导者的必要条件
1、  社会领域，高标准的道德对于一个有效的领导来说很重要
2、  在政治领域，高标准的道德不是必要条件
3、  在商业领域，还有其他条件

社会领域的例子只是说高标准的道德对有效的领导人来说中不重要，没有说是对public offical而言的，这个感觉很奇怪……

Whether a public official should maintain the highest ethical and moral standards is a question that has long been disputing about. I concede that high ethical and moral standards are desirable for an effective leader. On balance, however, I hold the point of view that merely high ethical and moral standards do not necessarily make a good leader, as I state below.

To begin with, for some leaders in certain areas such as social domain, it is highly proposed, if not necessary for a leader to maintain the highest ethical and moral standards. To support the argument, one need only to refer to some figures in the last century, such as Martin Luther King Jr. in America, Gandhi in Indian and Mandela in South Africa as well. No one could possibly deny the fact that all of them were effective leaders in their lifetime or their term of leadership, and that they all equipped with high ethical and moral standards which promote them to fight for the broad benefit for their brothers and sisters of their beloved countries while not for their own social and economic benefits an human beings. It is the faith of fulfilling the wish of a country of liberty, equity and justice that makes them effective leaders. Were they not having the highest ethical and moral standards, the situations in America, Indian and South Africa should not change for the better one as they are today.

However, when it come to other areas such as political domain, although high ethical and moral standards are also appreciated, they are not necessary enough to ensure an effective leader. There are more elements that attribute to an effective leader, such as high insight and preeminent ability. For instance, most people regard Bill Clinton-who was once famous for his love affair in his terms-as an effective leader, regarding the economic improvement during his terms and the fact that America has restored to the status of economic engine in the world. Besides, turning next to the example of Nixon, before the Watergate scandal was revealed, he was considered a preeminent leader by the mass of people as well. In fact, only equipped with the highest ethical and moral standards lead no support to the conclusion of becoming an good, effective leader as the speaker maintains. What is most, even not being cultivated to maintain the highest ethical standards can also enable a public figure to be an effective one. To look for support for this argument, one needs look no further than Hitler who were largely responsible for the damage of the Second World War. Although what he did is surely not desirable, one cannot deny the fact that he was so "effective" to the extent that he did great harm to almost half of the whole world.这个例子是很极端，但我觉得很能说明问题啊……

Moreover, when it comes to the realm of technology and innovation, aside from high除了这个词我想不出其他的了 insight and ability to lead, the leaders are also supposed to have the ability to innovate and to know the effectiveness to communicate with the subordinations. For instance, with highly acute insight, Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard University to set up his own business which is known as Microsoft Corporation today. Had he not been equipped the ability to innovate, then we might not have the DOS and Windows systems which are now crucial to the operation of our huge amount of computers today. As for the ability to get along with other coworkers or employees, one can easily get a clear view of the position insofar as one understand that most of the achievements are accomplished not only by the leader but also by the coworkers and employees who are willing to cooperate and work hard. Turning back to the example of Bill Gates mentioned earlier, the popularizing and the maintaining of the DOS and Windows operating system were not accomplished by Gates himself but by all the staffs of Microsoft Corporation as well.

In the final analysis, I agree with the speaker insofar as it is desirable for a public official who is to be a leader to maintain the highest ethical and moral standards. However, high standard moral and ethics do not make it possible to be an effective leader. Moreover, to be an effective leader one needs also other abilities and qualities.
