Ethical leadership and intractable problems

Overview

The nature of the 21st century workplace is challenging. Leaders need to be able to manage complexity and uncertainty navigating many different moving parts, all within a changing market dynamics and unprecedented change. In many workplaces, ongoing quality, productivity or product issues have their foundation in some sort of ongoing problem that has not been addressed, whether that be structural, related to people, workflows, technology, sustainability or a changing market. Leaders’ success can be measured from many different perspectives, including their progress up the career ladder, the people and resources at their command, the money they earn for themselves and their organisations, their scope of influence and even fame, the willingness of others to follow them, and ever more significantly, the ethical and environmental footprint they leave for both today’s and tomorrow’s world.
