Relevance of leadership on the teaching profession

Is it proper for professors to behave as leaders? What style of leadership should they adapt?

Teachers are unequivocally the leaders of their classrooms. Regardless of the course’s level or
subject, teachers provide direction, instructions, guidance, and motivation to their classes,
stepping directly into the responsibilities of a leader within any business. Yet, only the most
accomplished teachers ― those recognized with awards and praise ― view themselves as
leaders; in fact, most teachers lack the training to provide the leadership their students need to
excel.

For the sake of the students, it is vital that more teachers learn leadership skills and qualities.
By examining how renowned teacher-leaders think and act and by exploring how teachers can
develop the proper mindset, more schools can benefit from having true leaders in classrooms.

CASE 1: ETHICS VS. PROFIT

A large American company participate in a highly competitive industry. To meet the competition
and achieve profit goals, the company has chosen the decentralized form of organization. Each manager
of a decentralized center is measured on the basis of profit contribution, market penetration, and return on
investment. Failure to meet the objectives established by the corporate management for these measures is
not accepted and usually results in demotion or dismissal of a center manager.

An anonymous survey of managers in the company revealed that they felt pressured to
compromise their personal ethical standards to achieve the corporate objectives. For example, a certain
plant locations felt the pressure to reduce the quality control to a level that could not ensure that all unsafe
products would be rejected. Also, sales personnel were encouraged to use questionable sales tactics to
obtain orders, including offering gifts and other incentives to purchasing agents.

The chief executive officer is disturbed by the survey findings. In his opinion, the company
cannot condone such behaviour. He concludes that the company should do something about this problem.

1. What are the ethical problems mentioned in this particular case and what are the probable causes of
these problems?

The ethical problems mentioned in this case is that the managers used unethical strategies in order to
reduce costs and achieve profit goals. They also used questionable tactics to obtain sales orders. The
probable causes of these problems is because of the hight standards being set in the company which
gave pressure to the managers and caused them to do unethical procedures to achieve them.
2. Is it alright to do something illegal or unethical to maintain the company’s image and profitability?

Using unethical measures to maintain the company's image and profitability is not right because
anything that is done unethically will not last long. It will affect the company's image later on if they
continue to work on illegal basis. The company's reputation may be tarnished if the customers start to
complain on the products and most especially on their credibility. 3. If you are the CEO of the
company, what would you do and why? If i was the CEO of the company I will monitor on the past
and present flow of the operations and call for the managers' attention in order to determine the
problems they have encountered and what measures could they suggest in order to meet the company
goals.

CASE 2: FRIENDSHIP IN BUSINESS

Asia Pacific Sugar and Sweets Manufacturing Company ordered molasses from Philippine-
Hawaiian International Sugarcane Incorporated on November 5, 2000. When the time for payment came,
Asia Pacific Sugar and Sweets Manufacturing Company was not ready to pay due to tight financial crisis
it was experiencing. Mr. Rolando Gutierrez, the manager of the said company is a friend of Mr. Frederick
Dy, the owner of Philippine-Hawaiian International Sugarcane Incorporated. He talked with Mr. Dy and
asked him if it was all right for the payment to be delayed. For friendship’s sake, Mr. Dy agreed. It was
only 20 days afterwards that the buyer offered to pay. The seller accepted the overdue account and started
delivering molasses. Upon receiving the second shipment, the production manager of Asia Pacific Sugar
and Sweets Manufacturing Company reported to Mr. Gutierrez that the molasses did not meet the
indicated quality in the invoice. Mr. Gutierrez ordered the molasses to be returned. Enclosed in the
invoice was a memorandum citing the reasons why it was returned. This action enraged Mr. Dy.
Immediately, he cancelled the contract and argued that the delay of payment was a form of “breach of
contract.”

1. Was the action of Mr. Dy to cancel the contract legally correct and morally justified?

Mr. Dy's action is not legally correct because he used the delay of payment as a reason to deliver
lesser quality of the products that he sold considering that the customer was his friend. He agreed
on the delay of payment and did not react negatively when Mr. Gutierrez asked about it.

2. Is it appropriate to extend friendship in business transactions? Discuss your answer.

It is not appropriate to extend friendship in business transactions because it may affect the
decision making of the business owner. The business has a separate personality from that of the owners
being friends. The decision making will be affected by means that they will only favor on their self
interest and that the results may cause conflict for them.

Case 1: The Asarco Company

The Asacro Company was foundry for copper in Tacoma, Washington. People used to
talk of the "Tacoma aroma" when referring to the foul smell emitted by Asacro's gaint chimneys.
the company's activities however, did not just produce bad smell. Worse, they also released a
notably high amount of arsenic.
in the '70s the company had invested more than $40 million in an attempt to reduce the arsenic
emission. But in 1983, the agency for environmental protection told the company that the law
demanded that they reduce the emission of arsenic by at the very least, 25%. Arsenic is
carcinogenic. the agency estimated that the arsenic emission of the company led to for lung
cancer cases a year. The new restricion was aimed at reducing this figure to the probability of
just one case yearly.

Question
1. What is the ethical issue in the case?
2. If you are the president of Asarco Company, what would you do and why?
3. Discuss the ethical implications of the case using the utilitarian principle.

Case 2: Silverstar Chemical Company

Silverstar chemical company's new president, Mr, David Santos, has learned that for the
past four years the company has been dumping its industrial waste into the local river and
falsifying reports to authorities about the levels of suspected cancer-causing materials in that
waste. The plant manager says that there is no proof that the waste can cause cancer and there are
only few fishing villages within a hundred kilometres downriver. If the company has to treat the
substance to neutralize its potentially injurious effects and then transport it to a legal dumpsite,
the company's operating costs would rise to a level that might make the firm uncompetitive. if
the company loses its competitive advantage, 10,000 local employees could become unemployed
and the town's economy might collapse.

Questions
1. What is the ethical dilemma that Mr. Santos, the company president, is facing?
2. Why is environmental pollution a moral issue?
3. If you are the president, what would you do? and why?
4. Cite three other ethical issues that we can find in this case.
