Ethics: Senior Leader’s Responsibility

Some comments from working level professionals prompted me to post this quote from Army FM22-03 LEADERSHIP and COMMAND at SENIOR LEVELS

"Senior leaders and commanders have specific ethical responsibilities to their organizations. These responsibilities flow directly from the attributes required of senior leaders to successfully implement their vision. First, they are worthy role models. Second, they promote the ethical development of their subordinates by teaching them how to reason clearly about ethical matters. Finally, they sustain an ethical climate that promotes trust and professional commitment." (Page 18)

Senior, in this context usually means three star general officers.
