Abstract
“The concept of moral autonomy is, unfortunately, vague and ambiguous, and the arguments that make use of this idea do not help remove its vagueness or ambiguity” (Chan, 2002, p. 281). In a similar fashion, defining effective leadership also proves profound, as effectual headship is situational. Determined by a given situation, descriptions of effective leadership are not confined to acute definitions but instead portray the art of influencing others to accomplish a goal as a process (Bolman & Deal, 2008).
