Recommended for 1 CPE in Ethics at the basic level.
The program is suitable at the basic level for individuals who have routine interactions with others that could potentially lead to contentious conversations. OK ETHICS makes no guarantees as it is up to the individual practitioner to determine relevance to their specific area of practice.
Program Description:
Art will lead us in an interactive examination of how our values can bias our thinking in ways that undermine our efforts to be ethical leaders.
Key Takeaways:
Our values are often at the core of our identity, and they are vital to our ability to make ethical decisions. However, without self reflection and critical thinking, they can also be the source of unfair judgement and unconscious bias, which can undermine our efforts to be ethical leaders and to create an empowering work environment for our people.
