Ready to Change the Ethics Quo (For Good)?
Inspire Leaders to Lead With Positive Ethical Values
- MAKE LEADING WITH VALUES A NON-NEGOTIABLE STANDARD: Non-negotiable performance standards should include respect, care, trust building and full inclusion.
- TEACH HOW TO LEAD WITH ETHICAL VALUES: Leaders will need to talk through complex issues and explore how to maintain the “non-negotiable” values while making good business decisions at the same time.
- MAKE LEADING WITH VALUES PAY OFF: Leaders who consistently model the “non-negotiable” values should be rewarded so that others get the message that those values are just as important to the organization as profitability and growth.
These 3 ways to change the ethics quo will inspire leaders to reach for ethical values and ethical outcomes, fueling long-term organizational success.
