Fighthing Corruption in Developing Countries. The Role of Leaders

I am looking for ideas to start a study on how to "eliminate" corruption in developing countries. Actually, most developing countries depend on rich countries and international organizations to run their internal affairs. On a leadership standpoint, what could effective leaders do?
At a time rich countries start cutting their budget to overcome economic disasters, developing countries increase their expenses and their social projects. What could we do as leaders? I would like to have ideas from various sources across the world.

Eliminating Corruption

I am living in a developing country where corruption is one of the biggest barriers to prosperity:
- Corruption takes away the money from where it must be spent, private houses in stead of infrastructure, luxury cars in stead of schools etc.
- Corruption prevents the business from effectiveness: long and complicated procedures to force people to pay for doing business, raising cost and discouraging the investors etc and a thousand other problems caused by the corruption.
But your question is how to eliminate it?
It is hard and surely there are many ways, but as a leader, what we can do is to adopt a pure and clean position in whatever we do (don't be corrupted and say no to any kind of practices that directly or indirectly support the corruption) and transfer in our surroundings (company, family, group and society). Or simply, be a anti-corrupted example. Despite of the disadvantages caused by this practices.

Toxic Leadership Vis-a-vis Other Leadership Models

Might be useful to get to understand 'Toxic Leadership' (Lipman-Blumen, Reed, Starks) vis-a-vis Greenleaf's Servant Leadership and 'Heroic Leadership' to craft a framework for leadership in corrupt and graft-ridden developing nations. The Exemplary Leadership of Singapore's founding father Lee Kuan Yu may be a useful model based on the rule of law to consider too.

Corruption or the Weakness of the Less Educated

Corruption is not just present in the developing world. Problems with ethics and morality exist in every culture. Attempting to reduce it with simple moral principles is worthless without sanctions (in other words the rule of law must exist and function). In a democracy the rule of law is an absolute necessity and must be applied equitably by the "elders".

Leadership is a Must

The main factor will be helping a group of people to move united and with a same goal.
Some people say if you want to be a good leader, then you need to be a good manager. I totally agree with this as if you are not a good manager even though you may have some good thoughts but you need be able to construct them in the real field!

Leadership and Corruption

Leaders must be absolute transparent about their drive for clean business.
Let them put a slogan on the entrance "no corruption inside" and business partners must be invited to address attempts for corruption, by putting a Stop-Corruption Card in a SCC-box (name and shame).
Any alleged case must be investigated by the SCC committee demanding full view on pré-job possessions and current possessions.
Proven corruptable = loss of position.
The administration can promote this by rewarding contracts only to companies which comply with SCC policy requirements.

Moral Decay a Cause for Poor Econmies

Upbringing and moral decay has eroded the good virtues in man. Those in power do not see the need to plan for their economies. For how long should we be expecting to be given supplements by the donors? LDCs have equally to wake up to develop their economies. One man should not be seen to eat while all the rest are watching. Governments must have the will to punish those involved in graft. They should be brought to court. Pay back all they have corrupted after justice has been done.

Eleminating Corruption

Industrial countries in Europe are not innocent in that case. Often it is possible to spent payments for corruption with the argument that this is a regular part of the business behavior in many developing countries. The argument is: if western industries would not play according to the same rules as on the target market - there will be no business at all.
In order to support the export industry in leading countries the local tax law opens ways to declare corruption payments as "business expenses". The governments of industrial countries must cut these ways, and leading companies must follow compliance rules by law. This might be a way to break the circle.

Eliminating Corruption Through Effective Leadership

A Servant Leadership Style (Greenleaf) would be a convenient model to help shaping a new design for developing countries as opposed to a transformational style, which could be very crucial for the global business order.
If nothing is done, there will be possible transformations across developing countries and the big, the powerful cannot stop the stream. There are two counties in the western world, I believe, that could serve as patterns: Uruguay and the Island of Barbados.

Leadership in Developing Countries

Emmanuel has made two extremely outrageous generalizations of developing countries - that (a) "most developing countries depend on rich nations and international organizations to run their internal affairs" and that (b) "when rich countries start cutting their budgets... Developing countries increase their expenses and social projects". Can you explain how you came to these conclusions?
