In rank order, what are eight ways in which one can provide ethical leadership, and what is the rationale for ranking them in order?

There are
many ways to teach morality to others. Most of them involve teaching moral lessons verbally and
demonstrating proper behavior one way or another. There are several ways in which to teach
ethical behavior in leadership.

Do as I do, as I teach
you.

This is leadership by example. In this situation the
teacher can teach a lesson by using their own actions as an example.

Follow the example of person x as I teach you.

Instead of demonstrating the lesson in their own lives, a teacher
can use another person as an example of someone with good morals (if this person is a better
example than the teacher themselves).

Dont do what so and
so does.

While teaching a lesson, instead of giving
positive examples of the best actions to strive for, the teacher can point out negatives to
avoid. This will lead to good behavior by demonstrating bad behavior.

Follow the teachings and life of leader A.

This is another instance of teach-by-example that directs a
student's attention to the moral actions of an existing leader.

Listen to my teachings.

Here, moral teachings
are imparted through speech alone, rather than actions.

Take these simplifications/catchphrases.

Here,
teachings can be compressed into easier-to-remember versions (however, this does simplify the
teachings to a certain extent and makes them less complex).

Do not do as this person did.

Another way of
teaching is by negative example. A teacher can present a situation where someone took clear
amoral actions, thus imparting to students what actions to avoid.

Do as I say, not as I do

This is arguably the
worst kind of moral teaching because it displays blatant hypocrisy. While the lesson itself may
be effective, the actions of the teacher interfere with the resolution: if the teacher is
allowed to contradict themselves, what incentive do the students have to act
differently?
