Educ 115: ETHICAL LEADERSHIP AND
ADMINISTRATION
PRINCIPLES OF
E T H I C A L
LEADERSHIP IN
EDUCATION
Quote to Ponder
We say these are the values of the organization, and we all live
them. Then, no matter what the situation, we never think, “Well, I
can be slightly unethical today, but tomorrow I’ll be better.” It
doesn’t work that way. No matter how difficult the
circumstances become, we stand and we act on principle.
—Frances Hesselbein
What is Ethics?
With respect to leadership, ethics
is about who leaders are—their
character and what they do, their
actions and behaviors.
What is an Ethical
leader?
Ethical leadership is making professional
and personal decisions using moral
principles, boiled down to the simple
phrase, “Do the right thing.”
George Marshall’s Eight
Principles of Ethical Leadership
offer a strong scaffold for
administrators who seek
guidance on how to implement
ethical practices in their
schools
Ethical Leadership
Principles
PERSONAL COURAGE
1
This may be manifest in an education leader’s willingness
to voice opposition to policies detrimental to students’ best
interests.
PUBLIC INTEREST
AHEAD OF SELF
2
This includes the interests of all stakeholders within the
school community being placed ahead of the education
leader’s self-interest.
SELF-CONTROL, SELF-
DISCIPLINE AND INTEGRITY
3
Education leaders strive to be a positive force in the lives of
students, teachers and others in the education community
through their actions.
TASK AND EMPLOYEE
CENTEREDNESS
4
School leaders must create a foundation of success that
draws from the strengths of the teachers and staff who
interact with students.
Successful school leaders focus on both the needs of
students and the needs of staff when they make decisions.
DISCUSSANT
GRACE B. MANLIGUEZ
RECOGNIZING TALENT
5
Ethical leaders recognize the talent of their followers. This
means that administrators identify both staff and students
who display the qualities of excellence and then go on to
recognize and promote those individuals in ways that
create goodwill among all of the members of the school
community.
REQUIRING HIGH ETHICS
FROM EVERYONE
6
Administrators need not only concern themselves with
their own ethical standards but also with the ethical
standards of others in their organization.
That includes not only teachers and staff, but extends to
students and parents.
REQUIRING HIGH ETHICS
FROM EVERYONE
6
These standards must be communicated clearly and
enforced without exception in order to be effective.
SENSITIVITY AND
UNDERSTANDING
7
Sensitivity and understanding are necessary in order to
practice equity among members of the school community.
One of the most challenging areas of the ethical picture,
this practice must be implemented through educational as
well as institutional policies.
INCLUSIVENESS
8
A sense of belonging is key to gaining trust within an
organization, and trust a driving factor in success in any
context but most especially within the educational context.
Inclusiveness requires that all stakeholders be brought into
process of making and implementing decisions.
Solid ethical practices are inspiring to followers,
earning respect for instructional authority and
leading by example.
HISTORICAL AND
PHILOSOPHICAL
FOUNDATION OF
DECISION MAKING
DISCUSSANT
RAFY ANDREW S. SANTILLAN
INTRODUCTION
A decision is the selection
of a course of action (or
decision) out of many
available alternatives.
Decision-making is a
leadership skill that
managers use to assess a
situation and determine
how the organization may
proceed.
The historical philosophical
foundation of decision making is
a vast and complex topic that
has been studied extensively by
philosophers and decision
theorists over the centuries.
THE ROLE OF MORAL
UTILITY IN DECISION
MAKING
“You say morals, I say ethics
– what’s the difference?”
“Ethics” leans towards
decisions based upon
individual character, and
the more subjective
understanding of right and
wrong by individuals.
“You say morals, I say ethics
– what’s the difference?”
“Morals” emphasizes the
widely –shared communal
or societal norms about
right and wrong.
Moral Values, Rules, and
Virtues provide standards
for morally acceptable
decisions.
A moral decision is a choice
made based on a person’s
ethics, manners, character
and what they believe is
proper behavior.

DEONTOLOGY
A moral theory that judges the
morality of an action based on
its consequences.
According to this perspective,
an action is morally right if it
leads to the best possible
outcome.
CONSEQUENTIALISM
Only the consequences,
or outcomes, of actions
matter morally. CONSEQUENTIALISM
Acts are deemed to be
morally right solely on
the basis of their
consequences.
The most common form
of consequentialism is
Utilitarianism. CONSEQUENTIALISM
- actions should be evaluated based
on their ability to promote the
greatest happiness for the greatest
number of people.
Utilitarianism
CONSEQUENTIALISM
Classical utilitarians like Jeremy
Bentham and John Stuart Mill (as
well as many contemporary
utilitarians) take ‘the good’ to be
pleasure or well-being. Thus,
actions are morally right, on this
view, if and only if they maximize
pleasure or well-being or
minimize suffering.

-Claims that we must apply
a utilitarian calculation to
each and every individual

ACT-UTILITARIANISM
By making this calculation, we can thereby
determine the moral rightness or
wrongness of each action we plan to take.
-Eases the burden that act-
utilitarianism places on
practical reasoning by
establishing moral rules that,
when followed, brings about the
best consequences.
RULE-UTILITARIANISM
Rule-utilitarianism can be illustrated by the rule “do
not kill.” As a general rule, we would be better off,
that is, the best consequences, or state of affairs,
would be brought about, if we all followed the rule
“do not kill.”

CLAIRE DUENES PADON
PHILOSOPHICAL PERSPECTIVE
DEONTOLOGY. an ethical theory that suggets an
individual should act based on what they believe to be
morally right regardless of the consequences.
- derived form the Greek terms “duty” and “science”. It
is a philosophical concept that emphasizes adhering to
an immutable moral law.
- From a deontologycal perspective, we should always
strive to do what is ethically correct even if if it does not
guarantee the desired results.
state that deontology is a
“ moral theory that
suggests actions are good
or bad according to a clear
set of rules”.
according to deontology, the rightness
or wrongness of an action is
determined exclusively by its inherent
nature ans cannot be affected by any
consequences it yields.
Deontology advocates that one’s
ethical obligation should be
prioritized over any result that
could be accomplished.

truth no matter what,
even if it may lead to
unfavorable outcome.

respect to others by
honoring their wishes
and beliefs, even if you

actions and accepting the
consequences, no matter
how unfavorable.

other person doesn’t
deserve it.
showing modesty
and not taking
credit for
something you
didn’t do.
acting in moderation
and not
overindulging, even if
it’s something you
enjoy.
Today, deontology is widely accepted as a branch of moral
philosophy that emphasizes the importance of upholding our
duties and adhering to moral principles, regardless of any
external influences or outcomes. It emphasizes the
importance of adhering to specific rules or principles no
matter what favorable outcomes may be produced along the
way.
Deontology first gained prominence
with the works of Immanueal
Kant, an 18th- century German
Philosopher. He argued that an
action is morally permissible if it
follows a universal law.
VIRTUE ETHICS
- is a moral philosophy that emphasizes individuals’ character
and personality traits instead of their actions.
Virtue ethics
that an individual’s ethical behavior
should be measured by their trait-
based characteristics such as
honesty, courage and wisdom rahter
than by the consequences of their
actions or the partucular duties they
are obligued to obey.
this approach emphasizes
cultivating good virtues
w/in individuals to attain
desirable outcomes.
...virtue ethics is a broad term for
theories that emphasize the role of
character and virtue in moral
philosophy rather than either
doing one’s duty or acting in order
to bring about good
consequences,
Simply, virtue ethics is concerned w/ developing
good character traits w/in individuals and helping
them become the best versions of themselves.

HISTORY OF
VIRTUE ETHICS
The writings of Socrates wre influential in
the development of Aristotelian virtue
ethiocs.
He taught that being wise, meant knowing
oneself and what makes a person happy or
sad.
Plato contributed to the development of
virtue of ethics in his writings. He
suggested that striving for justice and
harmony within oneself was more important
than following external rules or laws.
(armstrong, 2007)
LIBERTARIAN THEORY
is a theory in pollitical
philosophy that strongly values individual
freedom and is skeptical about the justied scope
of government in our lives. Libertarians see
individuals as soverign, as people who have a
right to control their bodies and work, who are
free to decide how to interact w/ willing others
and who cannot be forced to do things ahainst
their will without very strong justification.
“ETHICAL
LEADERSHIP
FRAMEWORK”
DISCUSSANT
DECEMARK ABCEDE. BERDIN
A. Describe ethical leadership framework;
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
B. Identify and explain the different ethical
leadership frameworks; and
C. Recognize the importance of ethical
leadership framework in our daily living.
Is a professional principles for ethical leaders in
education that includes selflessness, integrity,
objectivity, accountability, openness, honesty
and leadership.
An ethical leader is someone who is able to think
beyond their own personal interests in order to
make decisions that are of most benefit to the
organization as a whole which not only meet the
needs of external shareholders but also the needs
of the people working within the business.
Ethical Leadership framework
Designed and implemented to ensure that the
choices and actions of an organization or
company reflect and uphold its ethics.
THERE ARE 7 ETHICAL
LEADERSHIP FRAMEWORKS:
Selflessness
1
Integrity
2
Objectivity
3
3
3
4 Accountability
4
SELFLESSNESS
1
 Selfless leadership is ethically leading others in the
achievement of assigned goals and the greater good for
the benefit of all others before oneself. (The Selfless
Leader: Dr JoAnne Lyon)
 Being truly selfless means putting aside personal success
to focus on the success of the organization.
INTEGRITY
2
 is choosing courage over comfort. You choose what is right
over what is fun, fast, or easy. And you choose to practice
your values rather than simply professing them. (Brené
Brown)
 is about aligning your values to that of the school, reflecting
on the choices you make, and having the courage and
determination to be the leader the school needs you to be.
OBJECTIVITY
3
 Requiring a dispassionate approach, exercising judgement for the
good of children and young people.(NOLAN)
 Being objective means you put aside subjectivity, needs,
prejudices and feelings, focusing instead on what Maslow calls
the real, and the truth.
 To develop objectivity, wider reading, consulting and
collaboration will help deepen the knowledge and understanding
necessary to find ‘the real and the truth’. (Abraham Maslow)
ACCOUNTABILITY
4
 Leaders must accept responsibility for their conduct and actions
in a transparent manner.
 Individuals have to account for their actions and accept
responsibility for them, no matter the results, as well as correct
those actions when necessary.
 Responsibility equals accountability equals ownership. And a
sense of ownership is the most powerful weapon a team or
organization can have. (Pat Summitt)

Editor's Notes

  • #29 Ehtics is a more individual assessment of values as relatively good or bad.
  • #30 Morality is a more intersubjective communmity assessment of what is good, right or just for all.
  • #36 Consequences or outcome of an action.
  • #37 Consequences or outcome of an action.
  • #38 Consequences or outcome of an action.
  • #39 Focuses on the consequences of an act to determine if the act is moral or immoral.
  • #64 Decisions about right and wrong permeate everyday life. Ethics should concern all levels of life: acting properly as individuals, creating responsible organizations and governments, and making our society as a whole more ethical. This document is designed as an introduction to making ethical decisions.  It recognizes that decisions about “right” and “wrong” can be difficult, and may be related to individual context. It first provides a summary of the major sources for ethical thinking, and then presents a framework for decision-making The core framework for ethical leadership in any business relies fundamentally on internal uniformity through consistent messaging, proactive leadership and accountability across the organisation. While senior leaders set the standard for ethical practices, it is key that these standards are filtered right throughout the business and all employees are enabled to perform their roles effectively and ethically. 
  • #66 The selfless leader must understand and buy into the organisation’s goals, and be able to objectively motivate others, ensuring everyone works equally to accomplish them. Selfless leaders not only create the best chances for the organisation, they empower individuals leading to greater overall organisational success and sustainability. In reality, we all want something back from the work we do. Wages, recognition, job satisfaction. Being selfless means getting the balance right. Leading colleagues with equality and fairness, unifying our teams and individuals to achieve the organisational mission. Integrity is about aligning your values to that of the school, and having the courage and determination to be the leader the school needs you to be Ironically, one way for a school business leader (SBL) to become more selfless is to delegate. Many of us have a degree of control freak in our SBL DNA, but being selfless requires investing time and effort to empower other colleagues to take on tasks, responsibilities – even recognition. Remember, there is no i in TEAM!
  • #67 Each principle is arguably as important as the next, but I believe integrity underpins all others. When working with school businsess leaders and professionals, I use Brené Brown’s words to describe how integrity centres on making the right choices. To do this, you to understand the context in which you work, the needs of the people you work for and with, and your own values as well as those of the organisation. Integrity is about aligning your values to that of the school, reflecting on the choices you make, and having the courage and determination to be the leader the school needs you to be. There have been so many examples of SBL integrity throughout the Covid-19 pandemic. Ensuring free school meals for families in need, or supporting colleagues unable to come in to work. For SBLs newly promoted to a leadership role, integrity may mean redefining personal and professional relationships with colleagues to consistently portray a fair, unbiased and credible approach.
  • #68 Depth and breadth of knowledge and understanding will help you place your own professional context more objectively I find a certain discord between being ‘dispassionate’ and working for the good of children and young people. In my years working with SBPs, I have never yet met a SBP who has not been passionate about their school and the children. The point, though, is that passion should be borne from objectivity. ‘Dispassionate objectivity is itself a passion, for the real and for the truth.’ (Abraham Maslow) Consider the synergy with selflessness, since being objective means you put aside subjectivity, needs, prejudices and feelings, focusing instead on what Maslow calls the real, and the truth. To develop objectivity, wider reading, consulting and collaboration will help deepen the knowledge and understanding necessary to find ‘the real and the truth’. To develop objectivity, I advocate reading new policies, regulatory frameworks (e.g. Ofsted), guidance, even legislation in their entirety, rather than simply relying on digests and summaries. Depth and breadth of knowledge and understanding will help you place your own professional context more objectively.
  • #69 Consequently, ethical leaders are able to inspire ethical conduct of their subordinates by holding every one accountable for their own behaviors (Neubert et al., 2013) Accountability means the state of being responsible or answerable for a system, its behavior, and its potential impacts. Accountability is an acknowledgement of responsibility for actions, decisions, and products. Responsibility can be legal or moral (ethical). What is accountability in ethics example?
