Ethical Leadership

For this short paper, imagine you are working at Enron in the late 1990s. Share an example of unethical organizational decision making from a company leader. Specifically, the paper should address the ethical foundation necessary for effective leadership. What impact would unethical decision making have on an organization? Students should look for opportunities for critical analysis of the communications process as well as how systems theory frames those arguments. The research paper should be drawn from the specific readings in the course material and include the following:  – The weaknesses of the decision-making process, paying particular attention to ethical behaviors of company leaders  – The impact of ethical behavior on the communications process by company leaders and the resulting impact of those decisions on overall company goals and strategies  – Your recommendations for company leaders to create best practices for ethically based organizational communications decisions
