Overview
According to recent research, Ethical Leadership is “leadership demonstrating and promoting normatively appropriate conduct through personal actions and interpersonal relationships.” This definition embodies the ethical codes of social workers, counselors, nurses and case managers. In this dynamic training we will explore the traits and best practices of ethical leaders, servant leaders and practical ways to implement these in your daily jobs and lives. We’ll begin our training with discussions of ethical standards around leadership and examining ethical principles from our various codes that correspond with strong ethical leadership. From here, we will explore the qualities of servant leadership which can serve as a firm foundation of ethical leadership and best practices to implement ethical leadership principles. Finally, we will adjourn our day with discussions around new ethical perspectives we may have gained from our training. As we strive for excellence in our professions, this training will allow you to explore best practices in ethical leadership with the goal of ultimately improving outcomes for our clients.
