There are various aspects of organizational leadership behavior that are important to business ethics as part of optimizing operations. Organizational leadership behavior is always aimed at influencing the entire group with an organization with the aim of achieving goals and objective. One of the aspects of organizational leadership behavior that is important is the communication. Communication refers to conveying of information by exchanging messages, thoughts, speech, behavior, signals, or writing. Effective communication in an organization takes place if the receivers comprehend the exact idea or information send. It is an organizational leadership behavior that brings together all responsible stakeholders (Sims, 2002). Leaders are in a position to share ideas with the employees in the organization. Communication brings out a clear understanding of working conditions and to implement change when it is required. In organizational communication, the issue of ethics in leadership is essential.
Communication is very dynamic, and its effects to ethical behavior by organizational leaders differ. The ethical behavior focus on doing what is right. In the modern society, it has become very difficult to draw a clear line between what is ethical right or wrong. This is because of the diverse nature of workplace. Leaders need to understand the diverse nature of workplace before communicating. Leaders must communicate their ethical behavior with clarity through their actions and leadership style (Sims, 2002). The communication of accurate and complete information eliminates any negative effects to ethical behavior by organizational leaders. Leaders who practice to be ethical will gain a lot of admirations and respect from employees making the entire communication process a success. The vision of the leader will only be useful to the company if the leader demonstrates ethical behavior. Communication can be detrimental in the sense that leaders communicate without putting into consideration cultural diversity. It is worth noting that what is ethically right in one culture could be ethically wrong on another culture.
