Ethical Challenges in the Leader-Follower Relationship
本文探讨领导与追随者之间相互依赖关系中的伦理问题，指出自私的领导者可能因维护权力和距离而忽视追随者感受，尤其在绩效不佳却仍获不当奖励时，会破坏团队合作，并讨论了公平、责任和问责的伦理含义。
Leadership and followership are unified in an interdependent relationship exemplified by the idea of teamwork. Ethical concerns are among the valuational elements essential to developing loyalty and trust in this relationship. However, because of their need to maintain power and distance, self-serving leaders may become detached from how their actions are perceived and reacted to by followers. This pattern can be especially damaging to teamwork when leaders continue to receive disprortionate rewards despite their poor performance, especially when coupled with organizational downsizing and layoffs. Implications are drawn regarding the ethics of equity, responsibility, and accountability in the exercise of authority and power.
