Ethical Leadership and Decision Making
Our ethics and decision-making solutions serve to advance an ethical cultural by providing leaders and team members with knowledge for how to close the gap between actions and ethics and build distinguishable standards and associated behaviors. Further, we consider and address the components required for effective decision making and help develop critical thinking and questioning skills that support solid decisions and ethics.
Organization Development (strategy, service, systems, people, profit) is directly impacted by employee and leader behavior and decision-making. As leaders it is incumbent upon us to make ourselves aware of the interrelationships between organizational standards, values, and beliefs and our personal ones. We can close any gap between organizational and personal ethical standards by understanding and responding to the “Ethical Test” and being guided by a specific set of questions when making decisions.
What standards do you have in place for determining ethical leadership success, and how do you communicate these standards with your internal and external stakeholders?
We have the expertise and experience to help you bridge the gap between ethical theory, policy and practice and advance an ethical culture. We take a practioner-oriented approach and ensure that our clients experience and focus on the following.
