Answer 1:

Effective educational leader should form the guidelines for ethical behaviour in the organisation. In this manual, educational leaders should include all of the stakeholders of the university that are directly or indirectly associated with the university. Educational leader should then determine the roles and responsibilities of all of the stakeholders and should also define how university is ethically bounded to serve the expectations of all of its stakeholders from the university. Leader should also specify the procedures through which the university will be fulfilling the needs of the stakeholders.

These predefined ethical measures will give a general understanding to all of the stakeholders on how they would be dealt by the university and what would be the work culture of the university. Educational leaders should be task oriented and should allow a certain degree of innovation in the tasks being performed by the employees in the university. He should impart the needed skills among the individuals working in the organisation and should establish a system through which human resources in the university will be treated as per the drawn ethical parameters in its constitution. This will create a work climate which would be fair in all aspect of dealing with the human resources right from their selection to their performance evaluation and promotion to the higher positions.
