This chapter's central ideas are the modern concept of ethical leadership and moral issues with leadership such as spiritual, real, and transformational leadership. The chapter discusses the causes and effects of ethical leadership, drawing largely on the literature at the confluence of ethics and leadership. Ethical leadership places a strong emphasis on moral and ethical behaviour in acts and decision-making. The chapter discusses how ethical leaders engage their followers' ethical and emotional brain centres to promote an environment of trust and transformation. It has been observed that ethical leadership is still largely understudied, opening up opportunities for fresh study and for leaders to improve their effectiveness. The chapter focuses on leadership-related thinking and how it might serve to illuminate workplace reality. The author also takes into account the passage of time since leaders' decisions are observed immediately and assessed years afterwards.
