Over the past several years, I have delivered many presentations on leadership. One of the sections that I include in the overview is an area on ethics and values. I often muse with the audience that I need to move the ethics and values section to the first few slides — if one doesn’t manage ethically and with values, nothing else I will communicate to the audience on leadership will hold any meaning. Effective leadership today is defined not just by results, but by how those results are achieved.
