This workshop is designed for managers, organisational development and HR practitioners. It is all about “Managing the system” and focuses on:
Step 1. Defining Distributive Leadership
The Distributive Leadership Model helps build ethical organisations, one employee at a time. This model focuses on the 7 ethical leadership qualities in every employee. It draws out, strengthens and measures the qualities in every employee by:
- Defining the 7 ethical leadership qualities of every employee
- Skilling employees to nurture ethical leadership at every level in an organisation
- Identifying the difference between leadership and ethical leadership at work
Step 2. Managing the system for ethical leadership
There are well documented stages of ethical development as well as well documented organisational barriers to ethical leadership. These need to be acknowledged and addressed for ethical leadership to emerge. Participants are challenged to address the contextual issues arising from the existing cultural practices within their organisations while honing the ethical competencies necessary to measure and manage ethical accountability’s
- How organisational culture corrupts
- How employees justify unethical actions
- How personal accountability’s can be promoted to safeguard company reputation
Step 3. Exploring the links between personal development and organisational development and the implications for ethical leadership
An organisation can only be as ethical as its employees. Ethical Leadership Development is a long term self-development process of personal and organisational growth and change. It is based on building trusted relationships, commitment and accountability. All ethical behaviour is leadership in action because it carries the element of personal risk. Participants in this phase work on building their personal reserves as well as identifying the procedural knowledge necessary to maintain personal integrity within the organisational context.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
- Understanding the difference between leadership and ethical leadership
