Abstract

Ethical leadership is characterized with ethics values in the management function as to decision making, behavioral ethics, communication, coordination, leading, planning and organizing, thus the ethical values that ethical leadership have in playing a leadership role also play a great role in the institutions, and the values that education principals  have are determined by determining educational policies and philosophy, trying to implement these policies through oriented programs, selecting, developing and evaluating staff, rational use of resources, creating a healthy school culture.
