In what ways does this article stimulate critical thinking or help a leader address current issues related to individual, social, and or group processes in an organization.

This article suggest that a good leader has an obligation to make choices and take action that contribute to the well being and interest of society, as well as to the organization (Harari&Brewer 2004).

According to (Harari & Brewer 2004) authentic leaders have enough integrity and self confidence to ask the toughest, most disrupted and most uncomfortable questions that are how they uncover problems and inspire change.

This produced an environment of fear stagnation and antipathy.

Greed is another factor that can deteriorate a leader and eventually take down a company. Enron, Tyco, and World Com were all taken down by the lack of integrity and greed (Eickwald, 2005).
