A true Leader's best friend - Ethics

A leader’s role goes beyond just making money for his followers and company. A leader stands out as a role model for the followers. It’s critical for him to be aware of his own responsibilities and, more importantly ethical values. When it comes to ethical values, Narayan Murthy stands out as a true role model. He probably understands the importance of ethical values more than anybody else. And he being at the helm of Infosys, I am sure the company will never face a Satyam like situation. In my view, Satyam's failure is more of ethical in nature than anything else. 

I just want to close this with one simple remark: "For a leader, Doing what is Right is more important than showing what is Right." I know it is common sense, but often common sense is very uncommon!!!
