If a leader is ethical, does that behavior affect his organization? If so, how? And if he leads by serving others first, how are employees affected? And are ethical leadership and servant leadership connected in the behaviors they produce?

Professors Mitch Neubert and Dawn Carlson studied those questions as part of research they conducted on ethics and servant leadership. They discovered that ethical leadership does indeed lead to better performance in the workplace and that servant-leadership leads to more creative behavior on the part of employees.
