ABSTRACT: There is much evidence to support the notion that
inspirational leadership is inextricably crucial for the functioning of any
organization, either in the private or public sector, which is bent on
operating as a goal-oriented body within which various individuals work under
the coordination of an ethically oriented leader. The paper unpacks African
Ethics and how a loss of virtue in leadership in both the public and private
sectors, has led to corruption with its hugely negative impacts on society. The
paper highlights theoretical conceptions and potential practical actualizations
of ethical practice. Recommendations and suggestions are made as to what can be
done to mitigate unethical practices such as corruption with its corrosive
effect on life in general.
