     Have you ever touched a pair of hands heavy with depression and coldness? I have a few years ago. The hands of my grandmother, one of the sole Korean survivors of Japanese Imperialism, were cold and heavy. Her hands spoke, telling me stories of torture the women had to go through. Curiously, she was always more bewildered than enraged for what the Japanese had done to her, simply due to the rapid and painful progression of age. However, this bewilderment of hers soon turned into hatred…

WHAT DOES MORAL LEADERSHIP MEAN TO YOU?

“As leaders are by nature in a position of social power, ethical (moral) leadership focuses on how leaders use their social power in the decisions they make, actions they engage in, and ways they influence others.” These are the words of the great epitome of leadership-Nelson Mandela, during his analysis on the subject matter.

I. Crisis of Morality Standard in Modern World’s Political Leadership

Our society today is made of contradictions. We condemn shooting such as the killing in the Batman movie in Colorado in 2012, but we still allow guns on streets. We desperately propagate the fatal harm of smoking everywhere in the world, but we never really…

What does moral leadership mean to me?

Moral leadership would definitely be some hot topics when people live under monarchy, especially under the reign of some absolute monarchy. Ideas would arise questioning the court and the roles played by the citizens. Today, moral leadership may sound less familiar to us, but the common understanding of moral leadership may be the leader of a democratic society. In my…

Is moral leadership ever possible? Morality is something to be taken into action rather than be talked. In an era which globalisation has been accelerating and the call for leadership in global ethics has been increasing, I think it is useful to review a selection of role models in human…

As an imperative in any community, the significance of leadership cannot be downplayed. A congregation of two or more must spring forth a leader who would be responsible for piloting the affairs of the group and providing them with guidance and direction. Leadership therefore is inevitable in any society. That apart, leadership is critical to the progress or downfall of…

Man's journey from the birth of their time has been plagued with a great divide. The rift was fabricated from an intrinsic propensity to choose the path one deems apt. The others embark their own way fueled by alternate incentives. But mere tribal discrepancies among our great early species have atrophied to the extent of genocide in the recent past. Nazi Germany could not live harmoniously with the Jewish innocent and the military regime of Yugoslavia had to ethnically cleanse…

I have been able to volunteer in several youth-led and NGO-led projects targeting students and all in some way, trying to empower them, to become better students.

Despite all of this, I still find the topic Moral leadership as quite complex. I understand the concept of leadership. Being surrounded…

Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King Jr. are a few unforgettable leaders the world saw. So are Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini and Stalin. There must be something in the way one handles leadership which distinguishes the former group from the latter. Why is it that some leaders become immortal sources of inspiration, while others are remembered only for the sake of keeping…
