Yesterday, we had the privilege of bringing our community together for a powerful National Forum exploring a question that feels more relevant than ever: Is Ethics Dead? How do we restore our moral compass in business?
In a business environment where decisions are often driven by performance, pressure and profit, the conversation around ethics can’t be an afterthought. It has to be part of how we lead, govern and build organisations.
We were fortunate to be joined by three exceptional voices who brought different perspectives to this important conversation:
🔹 Janine Hills, CEO of Janine Hills Authentic Leadership, who challenged us to look at the role of authentic leadership and the values that guide our decisions
🔹 Ronelle Kleyn, CEO of Fluidrock Governance Group, who shared valuable insights into governance, accountability and the responsibility leaders have to create ethical organisations
🔹 Gareth Cremen, Partner at Cox Yeats Attorneys, who brought a legal perspective to the conversation, reminding us of the important relationship between ethics, responsibility and the law
The discussion left us with an important reminder: ethics isn’t dead, but it does require deliberate leadership.
Restoring our moral compass starts with the choices we make every day: what we tolerate, what we challenge, what we prioritise and ultimately, how we choose to lead.
Thank you to our speakers and everyone who joined us for such an engaging and thought-provoking forum.
The conversation may have ended yesterday, but the questions it raised are ones we should continue asking.
What does ethical leadership look like in your organisation?
