The term ethics in the context of business becomes ethics that refers to the moral principles and rule of conduct applied to the business world. Business Ethics means that business should be conducted according to certain self-recognized standards. Ethics is a relative term that changes with time and space. Any activity which is ethically all right in western world may be unethical in the case of India and anything which was considered unethical 50 years ago may have become ethical due to changes in societal norms and values.

The person who follows ethics can become leader of men. Finally, an attempt is made in this empirical study to bring some of the facts behind the leadership and business ethics from an individual perspective
