Purpose Driven Leadership & Moral Risk Taking
Purpose Driven Leadership & Moral Risk Taking
In this webinar, Dr Matt Hancocks explores the neglected secret of purpose-driven leaders: the taking of moral risk.
In this webinar, Dr Matt Hancocks explores the neglected secret of purpose-driven leaders: the taking of moral risk. He shows why purpose-driven leaders must take gut-wrenching risks if they are to transform, not just their businesses but their sectors and the wider world.
Purpose of the talk: This talk will show that purpose-driven leaders compete by taking carefully thought-out risks to overcome moral anomalies in their companies, industries, or broader communities. An example of a moral anomaly is the existence of aggressive financial practices in companies that compete on their trustworthiness. In overcoming success anomalies, purpose-driven leaders change the moral order of their organization, industry, or community. Attendees will learn how to understand moral risks and the moral-risk-taking leaders take to create their masterpieces. I will show what moral-risk-taking is and how it works. I will illustrate moral risk-taking, in general, and then give two case studies to show purpose-driven creators how to do it. I will also give a case study showing how moral-risk-taking can go wrong.
Benefits for attendees:
Attendees will see the importance of moral risk-taking for purpose-driven organisations. They will learn the skills, sensibilities and ethics of wise moral risk-taking and explore the risks of over-elevating psychological safety.
