Field Marshal William J. Slim is known by many as one of the most persevering, triumphant, and yet caring leaders of this century.

Undoubtedly, some of the more interesting aspects in the Burma campaign and other periods in Field Marshal Slim's lifetime were his unwavering ethical standards and personal moral strengths during the most desperate and brutal times. This paper looks closely at Field Marshal Slim's ethical development and leadership during his younger years, his senior leader years, and his later years. The examination shows the value of maintaining high ethical and moral standards, and how high standards can build a courageous organizational bond between soldiers that can prevail in the face of insurmountable odds in war and peace.

Of all the plaudits heaped on him during his life, the one he valued most was the epithet by which he was affectionately known to the troops: 'Uncle Bill'.
