OBJECTIVE: 
This half day workshop will give participants insight into becoming ethical leaders and how that translates into becoming a more effective and respected leader.

The session explores the critical role ethical leadership plays in creating ethical organizations. By their very nature and position within the organization, leaders are directly responsible for the ethical climate.

This session will first identify the toxic side of leadership. By illuminating unethical leadership traits, we are more able to correct those behaviours and promote ethical leadership.

The session will then focus on the positive aspects of ethical leadership and how to make and follow through on ethical leadership decisions. We will discuss elements of character and how they influence ethical decision making.

Topics covered during the session are reinforced through interactive group discussions that are based on real life challenges facing the ethical leader.
