A new chapter-based Wisconsin group, LeaderEthics, is sparking enthusiasm with its call for ethical leadership in politics. According to the group, ethical leaders are:
- honest and truthful
- transparent with public information
- a unifier rather than a divider
- committed to represent their entire constituency
The non-partisan group will work for ethical leadership in varying ways: contacts with media and government officials, report cards on sitting representatives, speaker events, newsletters, and grass-roots campaign training. Interested readers will find a wealth of information on ethics and governance on the group’s website.
While neither a sponsor nor a partner of LeaderEthics, EnCiv’s mission clearly resonates with the group’s definition of ethical leadership and with its goal of encouraging citizens to promote it.
