Building an Ethical Leadership Culture (Webcast)

By Linda Fisher Thornton

How Does Ethical Leadership Impact “Brand?”

Our “brand” is determined in part by our ethical leadership choices. These connected trends increase what is expected of us, and make it important for us to manage ethical leadership carefully:

In a socially connected world, our leadership is more visible
Citizen journalism means that everyone has a voice (and may speak out about their experience with our brand)
Employees are seeking out ethical organizations and agencies where they can do their best work
Organizations and agencies are judged based on the ethics of the entire supply chain
There is a higher expectation for ethical behavior and more pressure on leaders to lead responsibly

How Can We Develop Ethical Leaders Who Will Build an Ethical Brand?

I was recently invited to co-present an ASTD Public Manager Webcast “Developing Ethical Leaders and an Ethical Government Brand” with John Umana. While the Webcast which aired on March 19, 2013 was customized for government HR and Training leaders, the content is applicable across industries. ASTD has now posted the recorded webcast and made it available to the public.

The Webcast includes:

Three very different perspectives on ethical leadership
Specific strategies for developing ethical leaders and an ethical brand
Managing ethical leadership as a performance system rather than a program
Understanding many connected aspects of building an ethical culture
