The article presents a commentary on ethical corporate leadership. A 2004 survey reported that over two-thirds of U.S. citizens believe that none, very few, or only some corporations operate in a fair and honest manner. The author contends that ethical leadership starts with a vision that making ethics essential and central within the fabric of an organization will enable it to achieve its aspirations. He believes ethics at the core and as a constant underpinning will channel abilities and skills to sustainable, appropriate activities. He suggests a top-down approach in terms of organizational ethics.
