  What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

Personal relationships should be the beginning point of ethics. From a caring perspective, a leader's actions are morally correct if the leader expresses care in protecting the people with whom the leader has special relationships. In the past 20 years, the caring principle has become one of the predominant moral principles of scholars.

Answer to Question 2

Leaders are asking people to change, which involves effort and risk. Leaders have a greater opportunity to influence others, which comes from both position and power. They mobilize and direct people to accomplish mutual goals. Leaders' decisions and behaviors affect organizational values, so the stakes of their decisions and behaviors are high.
