Flying fish can make powerful, self-propelled leaps out of water into air, where their long, wing-like fins enable gliding flight for considerable distances above the water's surface. This uncommon ability is a natural defense mechanism to evade predators.
We will discuss how clarity with regards to ethical foundations can propel us out of dilemmas, by granting us freedom, which bypasses the shackles of acquiescence and confusion.

General Approach
1. Walk in with your own understanding of ethics in leadership, perhaps without having deconstructed its pieces
2. Explore collaboratively the foundational components of it
3. Walk away with a greater ability to analyze the ethical arguments and the ethical posture of leaders, in order to negotiate, influence, and lead

Example of how to reference components
Joe took a promotion in a company to whom he has been loyal for many years. The promotion package as Senior X was appealing and he liked the salary increase, which was comparable to fair market value. He looked forward to the new responsibilities, as well, since they were to strengthen his posture. Three months later, the company hires two new senior X just like his, rendering them a much higher salary and fewer responsibilities than his. No explanation is given for the disparity.

Being a strong leader is different from being a popular leader, and being a popular leader is different from being a righteous leader; and the ethics of leadership in business requires that you make a choice about the kind of leader you want to become, exhibit, and follow.

Ethical behavior gets built from practicing a series of small instances, where the person confirms the validity of behaving in the chosen manner

Statuscheck…
• Are you able to identify your framework?• Are you able to clearly define the values within it?• Are you able to extract a prioritization mechanism based
on the framework and values?• Are you able to articulate it?• Are you able to communicate it in business?

Are you sounding like this?
…I just feel like it is the right thing to do……I believe that people would appreciate it if we went in this direction……I think it is fair to do it this way…

Man sacrifices his health in order to make money.Then he sacrifices money in order to recuperate his health;And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the presentThe result being that he neither lives in the present nor the future; He lives as if he were never going to die, and then dies having never really lived
