The intrinsic worth or virtue of an individual is best known as the qualities a person retains that motivate him or her to act in a decent or virtuous way. A person without any virtue is not approachable. Similarly, to be an ideal boss is a huge responsibility that really needs an experienced and eligible person to succeed. The main requirement in my boss would be the “Integrity” and he or she must be an integral part of the team as well as the organization. A few other features that make an ideal boss are to be a good communicator, be a leader, passionate, a smart worker, not arrogant, be self-confident, respects others, good decision maker, and a good relationship builder. I believe that an ideal boss aims at prosperity of the organization and the subordinates, and ensures to succeed at both levels by being ethical on the job.
Virtue ethics is a moral approach taken up by Aristotle, who defined certain character traits or dispositions, and provided a list of traits of character that are virtues . Virtue theory is one of the three prevailing methods to normative theories after deontology or teleology. Virtue theorists debate that evolving ethically needed qualities for their own benefit helps assist moral actions when judgments are to be made. Virtue theory can help us understand and develop qualities we need in professional settings by providing criterion for right action, and answering the kinds of characteristics we must develop in ourselves, and to foster our children, and provides us with a plausible way of decision-making that helps us to solve complex problems, and helps to clear some immoral behavior which we might be prone to. The main goal of virtue theory is the role of the virtues which enables human beings to succeed in their environment. The theory helps us understand that a person must be liked or loved by good people for the kind of a person we are, and be able to do the audacious, noble and honest thing and continue doing it even if other people find it rough.
The role models are the effective leaders who can inspire others to change for good. Such leaders discover joy and find new leaders of the next generation. These role models are considered as mentors or coaches who take the responsibility to shape a career path. Role models play an important part in shaping children’s lives. Having a trustworthy, strong role model is completely based on chances, and depends on knowing a person’s credibility and their importance in an individual’s life. If you follow an ethical egoistic role model then you will soon give up morality . I believe that a role model must be selected on how they influence us as a person and how they help us succeed. Not all famous people can be role models. A few role models in the current society are Pope Francis, JK Rowling, Malala Yousafzai, and Steve Jobs. These role models have contributed at large for the society, which can be credited to their involvement towards developing humanity and betterment of the society.
Malala Yousafzai, is a Pakistani woman who advocates female education. She is just 16 years old and travels throughout the globe speaking about supporting worldwide education for females. At such a tender age, she has been nominated for the Nobel peace prize as her contribution towards the education is tremendous. She is a remarkable role model for all the human beings in the world. JK Rowling is one such role model, who can be credited for the habit of learning in children. She has been the driving force in the current society for the young generation to develop a passion to read. Charity is one of her characters, and she donates so much to help others. She is the only lady author who became a billionaire through writing, who once was totally broke before she started writing the Harry Potter series. Her charity is mainly towards single-parent families, and people suffering from multiple sclerosis. The role models are community based role models, and many such role models are present in different fields.
