In your journal, describe the responsibilities of an effective leader. Then reflect on the following questions:

• How do ethics play a role in effective leadership?
• How does a leader balance responsibility to an organization with responsibility to followers and the larger community?

Write about your responsibilities as a leader in your current or future profession. Note any differences from what you described earlier. Describe circumstances (now or in the future) where it can be difficult for you to ethically balance your responsibilities as a leader. Explain the approach you could take toward balancing responsibilities while remaining an ethical leader. Connect this to your overall Personal Leadership Conceptual Framework.
