The Artemis & Apollo Group were very fortunate to hear Prof. David Whetham explore with us some of the principal reasons that ethical failure occurs. He also shared with us the practical steps that military leaders take to prevent them from happening.
We also reviewed how the seven leadership behaviours listed below prove a useful framework for leaders from any organisation to consider to create the right environment and appropriate ethical climate for themselves and their people.
- Lead by example
- Encourage thinking
- Apply reward and discipline
- Demand high performance
- Encourage confidence in the team
- Recognise individual strengths and weaknesses
- Strive for team goals.
We will definitely be asking David to come and talk to us again in the future.
