Abstract: Achieving organizational goals and fostering good leadership requires more than being in charge, as leadership is grounded in ethical practices and norms. This paper explores the construct of ethical leadership known to consider the implication and consequences of long-term decision. Behavioural boundaries are set within an organization via demonstration of strong will character and integrity. Leadership in a profit or non-profit organization is not a mean feat. The objective of this venture is to examine and give an insight into an ethical leadership model and highlight how such a model could inspire, impact positively and sustain quality leadership is a non-profit organization as the Catholic Women Organization (CWO). Ethical leaders are moral managers and role models through their behaviour by internalizing their values. The ethical theories of utilitarianism deontology and virtue ethics comprised the theoretical framework for this purpose. Relevant related literatures were reviewed and most indicated preference for an ethical leadership style, which has greater potential to harness resources for a positive growth and development of an organization. Ethical leadership blends both personal and organizational values harmoniously through ethical reasoning when leaders are faced with ethical dilemmas.
