Leadership Ethics
People learn to lead by discovering the power that lies within each one of us to make a difference.
Ethical Leadership Skills
Leadership is not just for people at the top.
People learn to lead by discovering the power that lies within each one of us to make a difference and being prepared when the call to lead comes.
Great Leaders
“The three greatest leaders of the 20th Century were Hitler, Stalin, and Mao. If that’s leadership, I want no part of it,”
said Peter Drucker, who died on November 11, 2005, at the age of 95.
Leadership Characteristics
Of 462 executives who were asked:
“What characteristics are needed to be an effective leader today?”
56 per cent ranked ethical behaviour as an important characteristic, followed by sound judgement (51%) and being adaptable/flexible (47%).

Effective Leadership
Leadership is not just for people at the top. Everyone can learn to lead by discovering the power to make a difference that lies within them.
“We should take care not to make the intellect our god; it has, of course, powerful muscles but no personality. It cannot lead; it can only serve.”
Albert Einstein
Leadership Development
Leadership development is not an event.
“I’m most effective with one-on-one coaching.
I would guess I coach 100 to 200 employees in a given month.
I don’t really think you can do the kind of leadership I do on a formal basis.
It has to be genuine.
I don’t think you can force a human connection.”
Brad Anderson, CEO of Best Buy
Ongoing Process
Leadership is a process of participating in respectful conversations where the leader recognises his or her own feelings and those of others in building safe and trusting relationships.
The most critical knowledge is self-knowledge.
