The Four Types Of Moral Leadership

Moral leadership

Q1) Morals are the code of conduct for an individual, while values are the ideologies that determine the specific personality trait of an individual. Now, moral leadership is different from other forms of leadership. Moral leaders aim to serve. Considering my morals and values, I believe that I am an empath.

Moral leaders tend to develop capabilities among their subordinates and other employees or team members. In such a scenario, empath are the best suitable person.
