For this Dual Journal Entry Post #14 I decided to do my DEJ Post on Yellow Company Two’s Ethical Framework we developed for our final Group Project. “The Compass of Leadership Ethics” by Ryan Magee, Abbey Gaines, and Grant Wilson:

Text to Self: Quote: “The design of the compass prioritizes accessibility and actionability for decision-makers”. This resonates with my personal experience in leading group projects where accessible and actionable frameworks help make complex decisions way easier. CLE’s focus on actionable steps aligns with my need for practical tools to improve leadership and ethical decision-making in my future career in technology, especially with the rise of AI Integration.

Text to Text: Quote: “The Compass of Leadership Ethics (CLE) guides leaders in making values-based decisions by balancing personal integrity, organizational accountability, societal impact, and empathy for stakeholders”. This framework aligns with the Value-Based Leadership Paradigm discussed by Shatalebi and Yarmohammadian, which emphasizes harmonizing diverse values within organizations to achieve ethical and cohesive leadership. Both frameworks prioritize empathy and shared values as central components of effective decision-making, showcasing their universal application to leadership challenges​.

Text to World: Quote: “Real-world cases of unethical decision making such as the Boeing Scandal inspired the specific cardinal directions”. CLE’s emphasis on real-world scandals reflects the increasing global demand for ethical accountability in leadership. The Boeing example underlines how neglecting societal and stakeholder impact leads to catastrophic outcomes, emphasizing the need for frameworks like CLE in industries worldwide.
