It is attempting to agree with the speaker on the basis that we are more willing to adhere a leader who is more kind-hearted, more accommodating, more altruistic and so forth. However, we found that the ethic and morality is unwontedly overstated by the speaker when we carefully look into the relationship between leadership and morality.
In order to argue this problem clearly , I would like to clarify the definition of an effective leader and what is the highest ethical and moral standards in the first paragraph. Exactly ,a leader means the head of a group. Thus , whether the leader of this group is or not an effective one completely depends on his or her effort to make this group safer , happier and richer. That is to say ,the effective leader inevitably involve competitions in which the leader is loyal to the interests of only a certain group. Winston Churchill ,the former prime minister of the UK, is a good example of effective leaders . In the World War 2 ,a war in which Churchill achieved the goal of defeating the Nazi and bringing safety back go British persons, Churchill killed numerous people by his troops. Yet this kind behavior can hardly accord to the highest ethical and moral standards which is based on the love to all the people even all the livings . To explain the highest ethic and moral standards , the vegetarians is a striking example because they present the highest kind with which they are averse to harm any animal, let alone any person.
Obviously ,the highest ethic and moral standards are not fit to an effective leader. Churchill didn't have the high morality to stop killing the Nazi, but the lower morality to serve his own country. Bill Gates, another effective leader in business and the richest man in world for many years, doesn't have the high (highest) morality to save other companies but the lower morality to bring his own Microsoft the best upon others. Virtually, the highest ethic and morality standards ,which contains a broad love to the world, will harm the leadership which serves a certain group.
The vegetarians ,those who show a higher morality ,in fact ,can never be a leader of a group ,for they are too merciful to damage others in competitions. They don't represent any group .However ,no competitions no effective leaders .(I don think mercy and morality are different,. It can not effectively support you idea)
On the other hand, what was worth paying attention to is that the basic ethic and morality in a leader is indispensible. Such as honesty and loyalty to the group , uncorrupted behaviors and so on . In this extent ,a leader is usually more effective when he or she hold a higher ethic and moral standard which bring the leader more support and a high morale of his or her group.
In sum, the speaker overly emphasizes on the ethic and moral standards of the leaders. Only in certain extent ,a leader benefits from a higher ethical doings .However ,the highest standard is not a basic character of leaders who serve a limited persons and succeed in competitions.
pay attention to the spelling |
