Summary:
To say that ethical leadership is a relevant topic nowadays is an understatement. A bear market and a myriad of corporate scandals have brought squeamishness to investors and intensified public demands for corporate accountability. In order to solve this problem, some organizations have incorporated integrity assessments to their selection processes. Others have instituted “zero tolerance” policies to curb ethical violations. Integrity assessments, however, have limitations: They may “weed out” flexible, risk-taking, and creative people – precisely the types of personalities that may be typical among high level leaders. “Zero tolerance” policies may also be problematic – they assume that ethical dilemmas are easy to solve and have clear cut “right/wrong” answers. Instead, the types of ethical dilemmas faced by typical leaders may go beyond “rule following” and require the ability to solve complex moral dilemmas. This program will “decode” ethical decision-making for leaders and explain the roots of common ethical violations.
