There is an urgent need for leaders who can inspire trust, make ethical decisions, and cultivate a culture of integrity.

Leading with Values and Ethics
Ethical leadership requires more than just being an ethical person. It requires modeling, embodying, and embracing characteristics such as honesty, integrity, and trust - while also fostering and encouraging positive ethics in those you lead. It sometimes means making hard decisions that still allow you to face yourself in the mirror every morning. In this course, you'll learn about the different aspects of ethical leading. You'll learn how to communicate expectations for ethical behavior in the workplace, and how your personal and professional values can guide you to make ethical decisions. You'll also learn how to handle common ethical problems and dilemmas, and discover how to make ethics an ongoing part of your work culture.
