Abstract: The study of what is ethically good and bad, as well as what is morally correct and wrong, is known as ethics, also known as moral philosoยญphy. A moral value system or theory is commonly used to refer to any system or theory of moral values or principles. Individuals who lead ethically act in accordance with a set of principles and values that the majority recognizes as a sound foundation for the common good. Integrity, respect, trust, fairยญness, transparency, and honesty are among them.
Integrity is a crucial determinant of trust and a crucial concept for an underยญstanding of governance. Ethics and state leadership policies should be foยญcused on eliminating corruption and establishing strong ethical standards, which will serve to strengthen the credibility and legitimacy of people parยญticipating in state decision-making while also protecting the public interest.
This paper will analyze the role of personal ethics in leadership and how ethยญics helps people become more effective leaders. Understanding ethics, inยญtegrity, and motivation in order to act as a role model and build a plan of action for state leadership will be discussed, as well as the value of excellent leadership.
