- Courage to change and become agile
- Different personalities deal with change differently
- Collaboration and Cohesion – Collective accountability
- Becoming battle ready
- Courage in teams – building a speak-up culture

An ethical culture is fundamental to the long term sustainability of any organisation. Although there has been much talk around the role of ethics in the organisation’s governance, many leaders do not yet fully comprehend the magnitude of their responsibility in creating an ethical culture.
This workshop covers the following topics:
- Understanding ethics beyond fraud and corruption

Building a strong cohesive oversight body

- Relationships within and with stakeholders
- Understanding the strengths, weaknesses and vacuums within the team
