Governance through Ethical Leadership

Governance and Ethics go hand-in-hand. While governance concerns leadership and directing the organization along the right path, leadership should be associated with morals, values and a culture that drives an organization to success through an ethical framework. Many past and present examples have shown how corporate governance failed as a result of unethical leadership, resulting in financial loss to corporations, taxpayers, shareholders and other stakeholders of an organisation. It is therefore important to re-look at the ethical values of leaders and the tone that is set ‘at the top’, which will then translate into the ethical culture of the organization. This session will take you through the various attributes of ethical leadership through which corporate citizenship can be emphasized.
