Abstract

Ethical leadership transforms and unites social systems around common purposes of ethicality leveraging organizational connectedness. Cybersecurity and the ethics around it create a variety of complexities. Often healthcare organizations do not openly disclose the extent and nature of cyber data thefts and breaches, which puts those whose information has been exposed at significant risk. It often is whistleblowing that leads to the public finding out the severity of the attack. This requires the need to understand the importance of ethical organizational cultures and the decision-making process that takes place when medical organizations have cybersecurity breaches. Leadership value systems mitigate subjectivity constituting ethical themes of moral character and virtues to advance organizational trust. Healthcare organizational cybersecurity leaders employ strategic foresight to forge connections with ethicality. Ethical leadership implores professional competence and exemplary service cultivating in social responsibility.
