I43"To be an effective leader, a public official must maintain the highest ethical and moral standards."

WORDS: 573
TIME: 60min
Official leaders, who can effectively cope with public affairs and serve the most majority of people, inevitably face the situation in which their responsibilities unexpectedly come into conflict with social ethical and mortal values. Then the question to be answered is: should they maintain the highest ethical and moral standards? As far as I am concerned, a balance between official responsibilities and moral principles outweighs the overemphasis on ethics and morals.

To start with, the basic capability of a productive official leader is to sensibly, considerately, and decisively make a balanced way out of the gray area between right and wrong, especially when ethics and morals become involved. In cases of emergency, should he stick to the mortal requirement of honesty to the public or conceal the fact temporarily? Take the situation described in the move The Day After Tomorrow for example. Under the circumstance of an approaching of a weather disaster which would probably decrease the country into paralysis for months, if the president honestly affirmed the public, the panic-stricken people would fled into stores and scramble for daily necessaries; on the other hand, if the president lied hide the truth form the public, a reasonable resource distribution would realized. Weighing the pros and cons of each method, the president decided to cheat the public before round-considering measures carried out. We can see that an effective leader should always find a balanced way through the conflict of ethics and mortals, but rather hastily take an exclusive side.

Furthermore, ethics and mortals play a dramatic and far-reaching role in the leaders’ public decision making process, which makes a certain level of ethical and mortal standards indispensible. Even a tiny little moral misdeed may contribute to a humorous disaster. A striking persuasive case here is the explosion of the space shuttle Challenger causing the death of seven astronauts. The official leaders cared so much about the final launch that they made a dogmatic decision to set off the shuttle even after noticing the minor damage to the crucial O-rings. Of course, various aspects should be to blame. But at least, the official leaders ignored the potential factor that threatened the astronauts’ lives and this is mortally unforgivable.

However, the requirement of highest ethical and mortal standards is impractical and cannot necessarily give birth to effective official leaders. After all, the officials are merely ordinary people troubled by the complex dilemma between mortal demand and practical flexibilities, rather than sages existing only in our imagination. They have to grasp the overall situation and guarantee the interest of most people, which is realized by relatively immortal measures, just as what the US president did in the weather disaster mentioned above. Some others may argue that the official leaders’ behavior is always under the spot light; therefore they should watch their deeds and set perfect ethical and mortal examples for the public. I would say, there does exist flawless mortal images—but only in the modified media resources. One can easily tell which kind of leaders tends to be more effective—the kind superficially applies the so-called highest ethical and mortal levels but actually commits evils, or the kind carries minor ethical and mortal flaws but generally benefit the public.

In conclusion, only the officials, who are capable of balancing ethnic and mortal principles with the specific public needs, can be called effective. However, the highest ethical and mortal standards are impractical and impossible for public leaders.

看了你的文章，觉得我写的文章入手点片面了，根本没涉及effective这个词。全片行文很流畅，只有些小的错误。但是这篇文章的论述逻辑上有些问题，比如further more 一段中举到例子：领导不顾飞行员生死的行为是不可原谅的，但是在逻辑上，如果不预先通知民众自然灾害的危害，那么也相当于抽离其生存权利，同样是不可原谅的，有点逻辑上的悖论。（实属本人看法，欢迎讨论）
