Learning Objectives

  • Identify common ethical dilemmas leaders face within organizational environments.
  • Discuss communication techniques used to resolve ethical conflicts effectively.
  • Analyze how transparent dialogue supports ethical decision making and accountability.
  • Explain leadership responsibilities in reinforcing ethical standards through communication.
  • Differentiate ethical responses that strengthen trust from those that undermine credibility.

Course Overview

Ethical issues rarely announce themselves clearly. They surface through tension, silence, or difficult conversations leaders may feel unprepared to handle. When communication breaks down, even well intentioned decisions can damage trust, culture, and credibility. This course explores how leaders can face ethical challenges head on by using clear, thoughtful, and transparent communication to guide teams through complex situations with confidence and integrity.

This CPE course serves as Part 5 of the Set Up the Leadership Tone at The Top series. It focuses on how open dialogue helps leaders navigate ethical dilemmas, surface concerns early, and reduce misunderstandings before they escalate. Participants will explore practical communication strategies that encourage honesty, accountability, and ethical awareness across teams. By strengthening how leaders speak, listen, and respond, organizations can reinforce ethical expectations and model principled behavior at every level.

Major Topics:

  • Ethical leadership communication strategies
  • Navigating workplace ethical dilemmas
  • Open dialogue accountability culture
  • Trust building through communication
  • Addressing conflicts ethically

Strong ethical cultures are built through consistent actions and conversations, not policies alone. This CPE course empowers leaders to use communication as a tool for ethical leadership, helping them guide difficult discussions, uphold standards, and foster a respectful, responsible workplace. Join this course to strengthen your leadership voice and confidently address ethical issues when they matter most.
