To say that ethical leadership is a relevant topic is an understatement. A bear market and myriad corporate scandals have brought squeamishness to investors and have intensified public demands for corporate accountability. To solve this problem, some organizations have incorporated integrity assessments to their selection processes. Others have implemented zero-tolerance ethics training, preaching strict adherence to organizational policies. Integrity assessments, however, have limitations: They may weed out flexible, risk-taking, and creative people. Leaders, moreover, are hired to challenge ineffective rules not to follow them blindly. To resolve this dilemma, the presenters of this session have designed and piloted a research-based leadership-friendly integrity-development program that incorporates concepts such as moral imagination and empathy. You will discuss the interaction of personality, ethics, and leadership competencies; test-drive ethical imagination; explore practical workplace applications; and receive a complete training outline to test back home.
