Abstract
Caring for employees, the community, and for the environment may appear to be beyond the scope of a leader's duties. Strategic leaders instead will view corporate social responsibility as their duty and will work to create an organizational culture that supports ethical behavior. "Managers must acknowledge their role in shaping organizational ethics and seize this opportunity to create a climate that can strengthen the relationships and reputations on which their companies' success depends" (Paine, 2004, p. 87). For strategic leaders, managing an organization is never simply about personal gain. Their purpose as emotionally intelligent leaders is to create and sustain a vision which will always hold the organization responsible for the well being of all those it encounters.
