The Power of Ethics: 10 Reasons Successful Leaders Model Ethical Behavior  
4 Hours

Description
According to a 2006 LRN Ethics Study, “ 94% of employees report that it is ‘critical’ or  ‘important’ that the company they work for is ethical”.  “One in three employed Americans has left a job for ethical reasons.”  Despite the fact that leadership demands congruence between what the organization’s values are and the behaviors and practices modeled by leaders at all levels, ultimately, ethical choices are made by individuals, not corporations.  Leaders have the responsibility of creating an environment that encourages ethical choices and holds people accountable for the choices that are made.   This course will include guidelines for creating an ethical, accountable environment; case studies for discussion; an ethical action test leaders can apply for their own decision-making and implement with their employees; ten reasons a leader should model ethical behavior; and 49 ways to “walk the talk”.  Who should attend:  individuals with a responsibility of leading or influencing others.
