Immoral decisions and practices have infested the business world, and it seems there is no end to it. Corporate governance has become more stringent and standards in regulation have increased tremendously, all as means of mitigating risk and reducing immoral acts. Little has been done to understand the psychological component linked to immoral behaviour. Companies mainly focus on mechanisms to protect systems and processes.
In comes moral leadership. Research has shown that there is a significant relationship between the moral behaviour of a leader and that of the people he leads. A manager who exhibits moral behaviour is likely to instil such conduct in others, even though a moral act remains a personal choice.
Moral leadership in the corporate world has, therefore, become a sought-after skill. While it is possible to enhance a person's moral competence, it is not an easy tasks. Selecting and promoting the right leaders to drive a moral business is, therefore, a crucial decision.
What can companies do to promote moral leadership?
By refraining from action organisations lend themselves to immoral practices. Corporate governance alone is not enough to combat one of the most serious illnesses of the modern business world. Moral leadership must be cultivated from a talent management perspective and the onus is on human capital consultants to assist in the endeavour.
