Leadership Ethics and Team Leadership
Introduction
In Unit 7, you will examine ethics and team leadership. The ethical perspective is fundamentally concerned with the values and morals an individual or society deems desirable or appropriate.
You will explore key ethics-based theories and models that relate to leadership along diverse dimensions and conditions, considering how these perspectives provide a system of rules or guiding principles for decision-making in a specific leadership situation or context.
Team leadership concerns a group of organizational members who are interdependent, share common goals, and coordinate activities to accomplish those goals. You will examine the outcomes of effective teams. You will also explore the manner in which the team leadership model can be applied to a team setting and context for overall effectiveness from a performance perspective. You will also consider the various dimensions, competencies, and attributes of team effectiveness.

How does each theory help explain the effectiveness of leadership?
11. Identification of alternative or adjusted leadership approaches.
Which alternative or adjusted leadership approaches could enhance the effectiveness of leadership?
Based on the chosen alternative or adjusted leadership approaches, which theory or theories can be applied to enhance the effectiveness of leadership?
