Pakistanis as in th emotive to make Uganda an entirely “black man’s country “. Amin, blames the British giving the Asians British passports and allow them to work in Uganda. Amin was not happy with it as he though that the Asians were eventually sabotaging the country’s economy. Amin has gone to the exten that he would throw corpse into the Nile river in order to stop the water intake from a near by dam for the Asians.

Too willing to Compromise

Amin never really believed on mutual beneficial. In other words he does not believe in a win-win situation. Without a win-win situation, people in Uganda were not satisfied and committed. Amin believe that by considering a win –win situation, he has to cooperative and might seem as weak. Therefore he indulge in gaining ultimate power and control over the country. He did not very much believes on displaying integrity. In other words, he does not threat every one in the country with the same set of principles and not fulfilling an expectation that he promised. After having to gain international attention, Amin began to challenge leaders from other countries, the likes of Britain and United States.

Dismissing ideas other than your own

Amin, is someone who likes to take command in his own hands and never worried about what others might think about his decisions. His decision are very much final. He is a person who does not listen to any one and believes his decision is very much the only solution out there. Despite having to receive several warning and recommendations from several countries , he chose to not listen to them and continue to caused mayhem . This eventually lead to further downfall of the country’s economy. After Uganda was chosen to the United Nation Commission human rights , .many countries cam forward to ofer help for the country but unsurprisingly Amin declined all of these offers and believes that he is the only one who has the capability to restore Uganda situation.

Compare & Contrast

Ethical Leadership:

Firstly, ethical leadership is basically leadership, that is based on respecting beliefs and the values for the rights for others. Hence this concept very much relates to being trustworthy , honesty and treating every one fairly. Winston Churchill, firstly, places the highest level of truthfulness. He often behaves in a very ethical manner and largely emphasizes on the importance of ethical communication. He did furthermore encourage ethical behavior with rewarding and punishment system. He has the high moral identity which he internationalized and believes that it would bring to success . Churchill utterly understood that through ethical leadership, he will and has influence his people to engage in desired behaviors. With his ethical communication trait, he was managed to connect to the people in various aspects and inspire his people to be ethical as well.

Whereas Idi Amin do not rely comply with what ethical leadership is .He don’t believe in a two way communication between his people and himself. He does not exhibit social responsiveness Firstly, Amin has never had thought about this choices and decisions on whether would it affect his people perception about him and his dictatorship. He does not place his people ahead of his goals. In other words, he does not care for his people which resulted in the people of Uganda losing thrust and hope on him. He does not really comply as to what ethical leadership is all about . He was not seen as a role-model for ethical behavior and he believes that he does not have to be rationale for all his decisions that he make . He was not promoting ethical behavior. He was not displaying ethical communication which he believes was not necessary during his dictatorship period. But little does he know that all the decisions he made are harmful and are unethical decisions.

Conclusion

Leaders of any country plays a very important role. This role is to ensure that the people are happy and comfortable with the leader’s presence. The difference between a good and a bad leader is that to bring its people prosperity , peace and wellness. On the other hand, a bad leader would bring ultimate suffering and ruin to the country. Leaders of a country does not only has to be experience and highly educated , but most importantly, compassionate towards the problems encountered by the people. Leaders of a country should firstly acquire the thrust and faith of the people. These can be done by not waging war with neighboring countries. Transparency is also important when t comes to day to day operation as to show the people as to what is being done for the country’s prosperity. One cant be a good leader without generally liking consideration for the welfare of the people. A good country leader would always bring the best out of the people and that is what Winston Churchill has done which has brought success to the country. Idi Amin, had never shown compassion towards his people to even start off. It is not easy to be a country ‘s leader, but never was it easy to win the hearts of the people.
