4 Find allies and advisors

There are countless examples in politics and business where leaders have surrounded themselves with ‘yes’ men (or women) who will reinforce their own beliefs rather than challenge them. Ethical leaders build groups of advisors and allies that share the same broad values as they do, but who are also prepared to give constructive feedback or hold them accountable when they’ve made a mistake. Being a strong role model is also a characteristic of ethical leadership, and those allies and advisors can support leaders to be visible examples of good decision-making, which in turn filters into the wider workplace culture.

Ethical leaders understand that their actions speak louder than words and inspire others through their own conduct.
