Have you ever viewed an effective leader in action and wondered about the qualities
required to be such a leader? Effective leadership involves developing an organization’s
vision and mission and making decisions to properly promote the actions to achieve
both. The implications of a leader’s decisions and actions could be political, social,
economic, or ethical in nature; however, an effective leader uses foresight and wisdom
to analyze these implications and their impact in the long run.
Consider an instance in which a leader’s unethical decision contributed to the collapse
of an organization.
How might the outcome have been different if the leader had been effective in
applying foresight in his or her decision?
For this week’s Assignment, review the George and McLean and Mullane readings and
select an event in sport in which a leader made an unethical decision. As you analyze
your event, think about the outcomes of your selected event and the impact that the
leader’s unethical decision had on his or her organization at large.
Instructions
In a 1- to 2-page paper, analyze an event in sport in which a leader made an unethical
decision. Explain why you believe the leader made the unethical decision and how an
ethical decision might have changed the outcome of the event.
Be sure to support your response with concrete examples from your personal
experience, observations and the Learning Materials.
Note: Be sure to use proper APA citations in your paper where appropriate.
