Mission:
The Center motivates people to practice ethical leadership, inspires institutions to create cultures of integrity, and gathers the community to animate social change, all for the common good.
Description:
The Center for Ethical Leadership is dedicated to building the ethical leadership capacity of individuals, organizations and communities in service of the common good. We create environments that build leadership, deepen shared values, and shift culture so that groups and organizations can better achieve the
goals they seek.
The Center works across sectors with business, government, nonprofit, education and community groups. Founded in 1991, we are best known for our work in:
VALUES
We help people claim their core values and put them into action. For organizations, this typically involves three conversations to make explicit: the values individuals bring to work; the shared values of the group; and the values that define the organization’s relationship to the common good.
ETHICAL LEADERSHIP
Ethics is intended to promote behavior directed toward the greater good. There is often a gap between the way things should be and the way they are. Leaders step into these gaps and make changes that align behavior
with values. The Center’s 4-V model of ethical leadership has been used extensively to create cultures of integrity.
GRACIOUS SPACE
We create the space for people to have conversations that matter. This involves creating a safe, respectful setting where diverse perspectives are welcome and people discover solutions together. We teach people to
hold challenging conversations in a productive way.
MAKING CHANGE
Some people seek to manage change. We help people intentionally make the changes that matter most to them. The Center utilizes comprehensive change models that align individual behavior, group cultures and organizational systems and structures.
All of these approaches help people transform individually, form new relationships and work together in new ways. The typical result is people sharing their gifts and talents more fully to move the organization’s work forward.
History:
The Center for Ethical Leadership was founded in 1991 by Bill Grace, PhD. Since its inception it has been a place where individuals, organizations and community groups could turn to for support in learning to live their core values into all aspects of their lives. Over the years we've offered various programs and workshops targeting different populations and sharing our latest learning about cutting edge leadership tools.
In 2005 the founder stepped down, and passed the Executive Director torch to Dale Nienow, PhD. Dale has been associated with the Center for Ethical Leadership in various capacities since 1997.
