PLIS model

How to determine character and the PLIS Perceived Leader Integrity Scale from Northouse text p. 446. Stakeholders around the world expect leaders around the world to hold the utmost integrity. Yet the most ethical leaders in organizations are the ones that struggle the most. Too often organizational values such as honesty, transparency, and integrity are expected of operational employees, whereas for managers to rise in their career they (unfortunately) need to have a willingness to ‘bend the rules’ and adapt their values in order to move up.

You are required to discuss this further, considering the situational leadership style, and other styles known and observed, such as those of public figures.
