Work ethic, ethics in AI, ethical business practices and ethics in leadership.
Ethics involves qualities such as diligence, responsibility, reliability, and professionalism, essential for success and personal growth. The moral principles governing the development and use of AI, focusing on fairness, transparency, and societal impact are becoming essential business practices. In all aspects of change management and leadership, prioritising fairness, honesty, and social responsibility guides decisions with integrity, empathy, and a commitment to doing what is right. Stakeholders can feel when trust and integrity are in place, and when they are not. These various aspects of ethics in change environments are interconnected, shaping a responsible and sustainable work culture, contributing to a better society and more professional business environment. In this Saturday Catch-up we look back at some of our recent thinking on the ethics in change.

From 15 March, 2024, I need a hero! Why we find effective leadership exciting takes a glance into ethical leadership, including how to wield the power of persuasion. Being skilled at ethical influencing enables leaders to navigate complex relationships building alignment from a group of potentially disparate motivations. This is another reason why we find effective leadership so exciting: leading by example is a great indication of ethics in influence.
And finally, we get to our industry's big ticket item: The Ethical Implications of AI in Change Management. Published earlier this week, this post suggests that in order to ensure AI does not create negative effects for the progress of a change initiative, the ethical considerations need to be kept to the forefront and managed through human oversight. By anticipating and proactively addressing ethical implications, organisations can potentially harness great benefits of AI in change management while minimising risks.
