Ethics, Trust and Credibility


OVERVIEW

Ethics, Trust and Credibility are three of the most important core leadership competencies that highly effective leaders must possess and demonstrate on a regular and consistent basis.

Unfortunately, ethics, trust and credibility seem to be on the decline. Studies indicate that employees and the public are becoming more cynical and unwilling to trust their leaders and supervisors.

When asked to define the meaning of ethics, trust and credibility most leaders are unable to identify the behavioral components that result in highly ethical, trusting and credible organizational cultures.

In this module, participants will define what ethics means, how to develop trust and enhance personal credibility.

Highlights of the module include the opportunity to take two personal assessment instruments: The Ethical Type Indicator which assesses a person's ethical preferences when confronted with an ethical dilemma; and the Trust and Credibility Inventory, which helps a person assess the extent to he/she possesses and demonstrates those behaviors that result in trust and credibility.
