Abeni,
Thank you for your post. You discussed your leadership approach indicating a focus on being “ethical, compassionate, and creative concern for others” (Hester, 2015, para.1). This concern for others is an important element of ones effectiveness of a leader. All to often, I see examples in my own work environment, where results not only take precedence over people, but they come at the expense of people. Northouse (2013) stated, “Because leadership involves influence and leaders often have more power than followers, they have an enormous ethical responsibility for how they affect other people” (p. 448). This is an important lesson for all leaders regarding the nature and power of the influence that they possess, as well as the responsibility
