OVERVIEWThe Research Paper assignment is an examination of ethical leadership encompassing the range of complex issues, constructs, forces, and worldviews that influence the contemporary leader. The purpose is for you to develop and present your unique concept of the ethical leader by assessing, describing, supporting, and presenting those elements considered most critical within the limits of a 9- page scholarly paper. This assignment incorporates self-evaluation and thoughts about how these concepts may be applied as you analyze theories and construct solutions using sound ethical, reasoning, and Christian worldview frameworks.INSTRUCTIONSThe Research Paper must be in APA format with 9 pages in the body plus a cover page, abstract, and references page.
