About

The Ethical Leadership mind map template provides a comprehensive framework covering 8 leadership styles (authoritative, coercive, afflictive, democratic, pacesetting, coaching, transactional, transformational), 5 moral philosophies (teleology, egoism, utilitarianism, deontology, relativist), 6 stages of moral development, and 6 types of power. Designed for managers, HR professionals, and ethics trainers, this 40-node template explores ethical intensity, organizational factors, and business ethics evaluation. Key nodes include 'punishment & obedience' as the first moral stage and 'justice' evaluating distributive, procedural, and interactional fairness. The template serves as both a study aid and a practical decision-making tool for navigating ethical dilemmas in leadership.
