What is an effective leader? In my opinion, it is the one who thinks and considers standing on the position of the whole group he leads or delegates., additionally, any plans or decisions he make can be executed well. Either the former or the later needs the leader keeping high ethical and moral standards.

Firstly, high ethical and moral standards guarantee public officials to take into account the interests of all people in his group, and to be willing to sacrifice his individual interest to the interests of the whole group sometime. Like some leaders with high reputation often give up his weekends, even Spring Festival, working for his group, because his responsibility and devotion encourage him to put the interests of the collectivity on the first place. On the contrary, the one who has some unethical or immoral characters, just as selfishness, avarice, dishonesty and lechery, would not devote him to serve for his group and seek benefits for people he leads. What he concerns is just his own profits and fame. Do you believe that a chief executive of a province or state who is selfish, greedy or libidinous would reject one 100 million check or a beauty woman one corporation sent to him, merely with the cost of using his special power to win a project bid for the corporation? So, we cannot expect a public official with ethic or moral flaws could be an effective leader, particularly in current society with amounts of allurements.

The second, even a sound-well plan has been suggested, the results of its execution is the key criteria to examine efficiency of a leader. How a plan or decision could be carried out smoothly? The most important factor is support and advocacy of members the leader leads. Then, only when people or the whole group trust and respect their leader, they are glad to hold up the decision and work hard to realize it. Or if a leader loses trust and support from his group, he must unable to push his thoughts, even worse; he may fell down from where he rose up. The Watergate Case is a god example here. When President Richard Nixon’s dishonesty and improper operations in the reelection was revealed to the public, people in this nation doubted if Nixon was still reliable and had the qualification to be the President. At last, Nixon was impeached and became the fist one in American history to resign during his term of President. And another example is President Bill Clinton’s sexual scandal. Though it did not lead to a resignation, President Clinton’s prestige was seriously influenced. Either Nixon or Clinton is not an effective leader for their unethical or immoral characters.

However, maintaining highest ethical and moral standards, as the author reckons, is not necessary or practical for an effective leader. For the first thing, every human being has his own weakness and shortness, like seven sins referred in Bible. Then, any leader is an ordinary person and what he has is not weakness but more control. Secondarily, in some special circumstances, an effective leader must conceal parts of truth to his supporters in order to solve crisis as soon as he can. For instance, during the time of SARS, Chinese government hided part of real condition of infection and number of deaths to avoid public fear, and eventually, controlled SARS successfully in a short term.

In sum, keeping high ethical and moral standards in mind is the insurance for a public official to always make decision or plan considering the profits of the whole groups at first and win people’s trust and support as huge impetus of well execution of his plans, which will finally lead him to an effective leader. And still we have to remember that an effective leader is just an ordinary human being, and even some of his actions seems improper, what they did might be for the whole group, not for himself.

好长的文章啊！楼主的SARS那段写的很新颖。
文章写的是支持的一面， 例证法用的很好。
觉得highest ethical and moral standards 这点没能很好包含在文章里，
个人认为能否把抽象的弄得更具体写！
