is the welfare of the general public rather than benefiting personally from their position of power. Moral leadership focuses on the important values of public administration. Moore (2013) identified a three-dimensional tool, which he labels the “Public Value Scorecard.” This consists of three discrete elements: (1) a “Public Value Account” which implies a balance sheet, the costs (in terms of finances, negative outcomes, and the inherently harmful use of state authority) and the gains (desired social outcomes, justice, and fairness); (2) an identification of the organization and its goals (mission, formal authority, interest groups, media, and the like); and (3) an assessment of the capacity of the organization (flow of resources, human resources, and so on). Thus, the important task of the moral/ethical leadership is take positive actions to deal with complex problems for the benefit of the society.
Challenges of Maintaining Privacy The rise of social and global media has also complicated the issue of privacy. Public officials are obliged to preserve the privacy of the individuals. On the other hand, government officials are required to have access to private information of individuals for the prevention of crimes and terrorism. However, governments must be careful not to exceed the power while seeking out private information of the individuals. The recent conflict between the FBI and Apple to unlock the computer owned by one of the terrorists in San Bernardino, California shooting in 2016 represents the classic dilemma between issues of privacy and law enforcement. Globalization has complicated the issue of terrorism by making available important information. The serious challenge is to decide what can be available in the Internet. On the other side, the dilemma is to what extent the government should be allowed to collect private information, which is crucial in the prevention of crimes and terrorism. The classic dilemma of the protection of privacy and providing security is a major problem faced by the government. The monitoring of private information poses a serious ethical problem. Many criminals and terrorists can take advantage of the protection of privacy rights to carry on their ill motives. Law enforcement officials constantly face the challenges of enforcement and, simultaneously, protection of the privacy rights of the individuals. In many of the countries of the world, privacy rights are not the primary issues when the security of the nation is crucial. In a globalized world, public administrators are faced
