Course Description
The decisions and actions that individuals in leadership positions, including supervisors and managers at all levels, play an important role in setting the ethical tone and standards for social responsibility within their organization.
After all, employees learn what behaviors are considered acceptable within their companies from observing the actions of their leaders.
This is why it is critical for everyone in a leadership role to conduct themselves in a manner that is consistent with the organization’s vision, mission, and values while also taking into account the potential impact on all stakeholder groups when making decisions. In order to do this, it is necessary to know how to apply sound ethical principles and to get in the habit of doing so daily.
