the science of moral judgment
and conduct.
 The concept of governance
incorporates four fundamental issues
i.) How an organization is
managed to optimize
performance and
accountability
ii.) How values and goals are
reflected by the systems and
structures that are created.
 iii.) How leaders establish
relationships that engender
the commitment of those who
work with and for them.

iv.) How the application of

leadership is formally applied in
the conduct of organizational
business

faced with choices that require them
to make decisions. All these decisions

resolution and are likely to be highly
problematic.
