Course Overview

Our contemporary world demands deeper levels of ethical intelligence and higher standards of public accountability than ever before. However, current global and local dynamics put pressure on our public institutions that make ethical leadership increasingly challenging. This course helps participants to better understand and enact their ethical responsibilities in this context.

The course starting point is that public service and government administration are necessarily complex, dynamic and contested. This requires public servants and civil society practitioners to navigate fine lines between principle and pragmatism, politics and administration, means and ends as well as short and long-term requirements.

Course objectives

The short courses will equip participants with the insights, concepts, skills and tools to:

• Act with integrity and moral courage in their private and public lives.
• Make ethically responsible decisions about the many ethical dilemmas that they face as part of the everyday task of being a leader in public life.
• Put in place the policies, mechanisms and practices in their organisation that promote good governance and accountability, minimize corruption and generate sound ethical behaviour.
• Grapple more effectively with some of the unresolved ethical questions that the world and the country is grappling with and that require intensive thought and bold leadership.

Who will benefit from the course?

This short course is targeted at executives, managers and professionals who have to grapple with and take the lead on confronting difficult ethical and public accountability issues whether working in the public service, municipalities, state-owned enterprises, the non-profit sector or the private sector.

Course Structure

The course is structured to take participants through a process that is both intellectually challenging, emotionally powerful and practically useful. The programme comprises a mix of theory, case studies and simulation as inputs to a process of individual reflection and intense group dialogue. Extensive course reading will also be provided.
