Values are essential for the implementation of an organisation’s strategy and the shaping of its culture. Values determine how an organisation realises its purpose and are therefore integral to how individuals act and relate, leaders lead, teams collaborate, decisions are made and implemented, and how ethical challenges and dilemmas are dealt with. A values-based organisational culture builds trust, engagement and productivity among employees and enhances stakeholder relations and public reputation. Leadership in today’s organisational context demands constant alertness to ethical challenges in domains such as business conduct, sustainable development, and people management practices. When faced with these challenges, leaders need knowledge, skilfulness, and confidence to act upon values in ways that are empowering to themselves and the people and organisations they lead.
WisePraxis offers consulting and training support for values-driven leadership development in organisations. Workshops are designed to build values-driven leadership capacity and enhance values integration throughout the organisation as well as in external stakeholder relations.
