Beschreibung

In the VUCA world (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity), management has to find the right path facing volatility, uncertainty, as well as complex and ambiguous environments. At the same time, ethics itself is highly complex due to the plurality of ethics and because it goes far beyond following rules and respecting norms. Managers need an even stronger basis of values, ethics and principles to work, partner and collaborate.

What should a manager do? What should a manager not do? Where can a manager find ethical orientation while struggling with these questions? Which ethical guidelines could inform a manager’s decision-making process? How can a manager assess if an action, a decision, or a behavior is fair to the own organization as well as to all parties involved? Which challenges to management ethics need to be mastered? How can these challenges be overcome from an ethical standpoint?

The seminar “Management and Ethics” will address these and similar topics. The learning outcomes for this seminar are:

  • To enable participants to develop the skills to manage with a strong foundation of values, principles and ethics;
  • To understand the requirements for an ethical justification of ethical values, principles, and norms;
  • To apply the requirements for an ethical justification of their own values, principles, and norms;
  • To enable participants to create a clear ethical management-approach at personal, team, and organizational levels.
