Overview of the webinar
Ethics conversations, done right, are not boring. They engage people’s hearts and minds in figuring out the right things to do in challenging situations. They build confidence and help people find meaning in their work.
Ethical values center groups. They focus people’s work on positive outcomes for constituents. They drive good decisions and choices. Leaders tap into the benefits of ethical values by talking about what matters. These conversations are not only free, they also release the potential of the team to do well by doing good.
Invite your team to the conversation about ethical values-- so they can talk about what really matters. Subjects covered include how to invite people to the conversation about what matters, questions to ask, and how to reach for the higher level ethics conversation. This course includes a conversation guide with questions from Linda’s award-winning book 7 Lenses: Learning the Principles and Practices of Ethical Leadership.

Why should you attend?
Ethical values are the “what to do” that guide teams to make good choices. The way we talk about ethical values sets the tone for how comfortable people will be when they need to ask for help. If we talk about ethics only when things go wrong, that gives people the impression that the topic is negative and should be avoided. Making matters worse, ethics conversations focused on “what not to do” don’t say what people should do.
Leaders who talk about ethical values in a positive light reduce stress and help people make good choices. In this course, you will learn how to engage in conversations about ethical values, and how to keep that communication compelling, relevant and ongoing. Learn to take your communication to a higher level and access the tangible benefits of conversations about what matters.
Ethical mistakes are costly, and they drain an organization’s time, money and morale. They reduce the ethical brand value and leave people uncertain about what the company values. Just having a mission, vision and values and ethics code isn’t enough. We have to generate the conversations that help people follow those ideals.
