Workshop Description

Ethics in today's workplace continues to get a lot of attention.  This session will begin with creating an understanding of the basis for a strong ethical leadership and the importance in today's workplace.  In addition, the workshop introduces strategies to effectively deal with those day-to-day ethical decisions we face even when neither option is good, or when you have to chose between two acceptable outcomes.  As a result of participating in this workshop, individuals will have added value to their current capacities as leaders to create a highly ethical workplace.

More specifically, as a result of this workshop individuals will -

• Understand the foundation for ethical leadership;
• Explore reasons for ethical failures in the workplace;
• Identify strategies for leaders and organizations to create an ethical workplace culture;
• Explore two ethical decision making models/formats; and
• Use an ethical decision making model on various workplace scenarios.
