In nutshell, the authors’ main aim of the research article was to examined the antecedents and the path forward of ethical leadership.

Moreover, the authors noticed some limitations during the research. They indicated that ethical leaders may be affected if they’re too closed to employees. Hence, there should be a gap between supervisors and subordinates. If the employees have close contact with ethical leadership, employees would explore the weakness of their leaders. This would positively bring discredit upon the supervisors. The authors narrated a little less about the cultural difference among communities in their study. Culture upbringing play integral parts on individuals’ lives. Therefore, I would like to see more research to be conducted on this subject where questions of culture and heritage is included in the
