(67) 
VerifiedLeaders sometimes favour some people which would be a loss for the others which makes everyone question their ethical values . In some cases it is unavoidable for those leaders but in some other cases they do it on purpose for selfish reasons.
> Let us consider an example where a leader puts aside laws of the company which states that direct recruitments without any interviews should not be done under any circumstance, in order to give job to person who is highly influencial. This would make other people who are waiting for the job recruitments to lose an opportunity . This is the leader evading regulations and breaking laws to favout someone at the expense of others.
> Let us consider an example where a leader have to take a decision on a person whose performance was very low despite regular warnings. The leaders decides to terminate the employee keeping the best interests of the company in mind. But the person lost their job which means they lost their livelihood. This might be legal decision made by the leader but is unethical when it comes to the person who is left jobless with a family to feed.
> Acts of omission are the actions which the leader did not take which are needed to be taken . For example the total workplace is being disturbed by one employee who is very arrogant to others and who is a recommendation of the boss . The leader does not take any action against the employee even when others give a lot of complaints. This resulted in other employees leaving the company one by one which is the result of the leader not taking any action on that one employee just because they are influential.
