Introduction The lay understanding of moral competence is good character. Character is a multifaceted construct that captures the totality of an individual’s thoughts, sentiments and behaviors. In the course of my studies, I have learnt how an individual can use the moral competence inventory in order to identify his moral strength or weakness. In day-to-day living, knowing what is moral from what is immoral is not easy. There is a lot of academic argument with regard to what moral values are or how to recognize what is ethical. Nonetheless as argued by Lennick & Kiel (2007, p.7), ‘moral standards are doctrines derived from collective principles that inform the human sense of what is correct and wrong’. Universal principles or values are those that any person anywhere in the world would embrace as commendable and self-justifying. One of the most appreciated intellectuals on morality, Immanuel Kant, held that moral acts are universally acknowledged duties. Consequently, for you to have acted morally, it should be that all decent people put in your circumstance would do the same. For instance, all people in the world value impartiality, honesty, respect and justice. My Moral Strength I have come to identify, over time, that my greatest moral strength is my ability to stick or stand with the stipulated set of laws in any situation or circumstance that I am faced with rather than seek short cuts or expediency. This is not to mean that I am a rigid blind follower of rules and regulations. Contrarily, my strength is in critically evaluating a scenario based on my moral compass and following the spirit of the law or regulation. From my classes and reading texts, I have come appreciate that success in business leadership is largely dependent on decisions based on moral values, rather than expedient resolutions based on appropriateness or convenience. Apart from having a moral compass, Lennick and Kiel (2007, p.6), note that moral intelligence is directly linked to emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence is the capability to tap into and comprehend the way an individual perceives, thinks or responds to issues thus translating into given emotions or feelings about. I believe that emotional intelligence is another strength I have given I am very sensitive and I empathize a lot. Through empathizing, I am able to understand how others are affected emotionally and what exactly is causing the emotional state. Equally, when I experience emotions like guilt, I am able to connect my feelings with the kind of thoughts or my mental focus. By so doing, I am able to move from purely emotional responses to rational appraisal and response. While working as an assistant manager in California Development Bank, I had a rare privilege of working under the leadership of the regional general manager. It was from this institution that I happened to witness evidence of this moral competency. In the course of his day-to-day banking activities, I realized that the general manager used to work in line with the banking rules and regulations to the letter. This was a great challenge to most of us young employees, putting into consideration that there was a lot of pressure to compromise. Watching the assistant manager go about his activities increased my resolve to always stand by principles, rules and regulations. It was
