Leaders of an organization "set the tone at the top" for ethical behavior. Leaders, therefore, have a large influence on the management of ethics within an organization.Even if a leader verbally advocates for ethical behavior and is active in implementing a Code of Ethics or measures to encourage ethical behavior, if the leader's own actions don't reflect ethical behavior then the employees will likely not take the formal actions seriously.Watch the video below on Ethical Leadership from UT Austin's Ethics Unwrapped Series and answer the two questions that follow.

1.If companies are prospering under a CEO's leadership, should the CEO have any responsibility to also lead an upright personal life?

2.Can you think of any other reasons, besides the ones mentioned in the UT Austin's Ethics Unwrapped Series, that might make it more difficult for leaders to stay on the straight-and-narrow than it is for regular people?
