makes them critical qualities for eco-leaders (Western, 2019). Technology connectivity has
enabled global interdependence in trade, information sharing, and cultural exchange, making our
world more interconnected than ever before. Eco-leaders embracing connectivity and
interdependence foster collaboration but also highlight the impact of respecting ecosystems
across NGO departments. Certainly, connectivity and interdependence play a crucial role in
exchange of knowledge and best practices in children's health globally, fostering a collective eco-
networks enable the sharing of resources such as medical expertise, technology, and funding to
healthcare, supporting eco-leadership through the implementation of advanced solutions that can
positively impact the health and well-being of children worldwide. Moreover, interconnected
networks provide a platform for collective advocacy on global issues affecting children's health
influencing policies that prioritize children's health. The theory of social interdependence
supports the quality of connectivity and interdependence (Lawless, 2021). Connectivity allows

Eco-leadership with a focus on systematic ethics looks to behold short-term gains and
considers the long-term well-being of children. This involves implementing policies and
practices that not only address immediate health concerns but also create conditions for sustained
health and prosperity, promoting a holistic approach to children's development. Systemic ethics
is supported by deontological ethics theory that emphasizes ethical rules and moral duties. In a
systematic context, these rules and duties become a foundation of ethical guidelines within a
society or organization. Systematic structure establishes rules that align with deontological
principles, creating a framework for ethical behavior. Systematic ethics are often embedded in
principles, and these principles are frequently reflected in laws and institutional policies, forming

Leadership spirit in the areas of children's health involves guiding and inspiring others to
prioritize and address the well-being of children, fostering collaboration among healthcare
and teaching them about the importance of a healthy environment for their well-being.

intricate relationship between team members, departments, and external factors is crucial in
mirroring the interconnected ecosystem. Both leadership and ecological system requires
adaptability. A strong leader must adapt their style to different situations, much like how
ecosystems adapt to environmental change. Leadership spirit aligns with ecological theory in its
focus on sustainability. Effective leaders consider the long-term impact of their decisions on the
team and organization just as ecological theory emphasizes the importance of sustainable
practices.
