Society as a whole is responsible to conduct business ethically. Parallel to the formula that we use for inventing the laws that a society created to promote specific behaviors and actions that are appropriate to build trust and relationship, it is similar in corporations' behavior. According to Svensson & Woods "Society does have expectations of business and of its business leaders" (Svensson & Woods, 2008, p. 306). Ethical business behavior is a combination of values and normative ethics, which drive an organization. When analyzing Anglo-American and Primark for this case study.
Leadership: Trustworthiness and Ethical Stewardship Anthony Owusu Ansah Northcentral University Abstract This paper discusses the correlation between the elements of leadership, trustworthiness and ethical stewardship. In this paper, evidence is presented to support a positive correlation between an organizational leader’s perceived behavior, ethical stewardship, and trustworthiness on his/her employees and the rest of the individuals in the organization. KEY WORDS: leadership, trustworthiness, ethical stewardship Introduction The problem to be investigated is the relationship that exists between leadership, trustworthiness and ethical stewardship in corporate organizations. In the global marketplace, the importance of understanding the relationships between leadership, leader’s trustworthiness, and the ethical duties implicit in the psychological contract have become increasingly important (Caldwell, Hayes and Long, 2010). Scholars and practitioners have increasingly acknowledged the gap of trust between leaders and followers, which undermine employees’ commitment, impair wealth creation, and create increased transaction costs in organizations throughout the world (Caldwell et al., 2010).
Last, the article will evaluate ethics in an academic setting, principally concerning academic integrity and the code of conduct. Trustworthiness, Ethical Stewardship in Leadership Comparing and Contrasting Approaches The problem is the investigation of the association linking leadership, ethical stewardship, and trustworthiness in a corporation. Perceiving the correlation of these essentials factors is critical to the accommodating new and different trends in company’s culture and stakeholders’ needs in the global industry. Researchers and theorists agree company leaders need to establish ethical stewardship, and trustworthiness to develop a strong leader and follower relationship. Woods and Winston suggest that, “Leaders earn the trust and followership of others by being trustworthy and accountable by virtue of honoring their duties to others; leaders demonstrate their commitment to the covenantal

The purpose of this paper is to explain the role of ethics and social responsibility in developing a strategic plan while considering stakeholder needs and explain how my ethical perspective has evolved throughout the masters program at University of Phoenix. A company’s Code of Conduct is written with values and standards set forth by the company with expectations for employees to be ethically responsible for reflecting the company’s views in proper business behavior (Pearce & Robinson, 2011). Developing a strategic plan should recognize those involved: stockholders, employees, the community and also the stakeholders. Promoting social values in the workplace and maintaining those values brings success in developing strategic plans. Ethical standards help develop the company’s mission statement and vision statement for a baseline for goal-setting for employees.

Christman then goes on to describe the relationship between political participation and individual autonomy, further stating that the connection is not conceptually necessary for his account of positive freedom. Christman argues that because modern societies are frequently large and industrial, several individual concerns are not dictated one way or the other by a governing body and that one can be self-governing and possess individual positive liberty without active participation in democratic institutions. Throughout the article, Christman emphasizes the importance of the origin of one’s values, adding that these values must have been “formed in a manner or by a process that the individual had, or could have had, something to say about.” He consistently supports the notion that the conditions of autonomy bear on the formation of preferences rather than the preferences themselves at any given time. Christman also criticizes the “inner citadel” concept proposed by Berlin. Christman states that if a desire is altered or eliminated forcefully (as a result of some interference), the subject does not experience an increase in freedom.
